The Recipe of Twos

This is mine -- you may have your own.

• 2 lbs ground meat (whatever is cheapest)
• 2 Medium onions, chopped
  
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 2 cans dark red kidney beans
• 2 cans crushed tomatoes
• 4 tablespoons chili powder
• cayenne pepper
• sugar
• salt

1. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in the bottom of a large pot. Add the onions, garlic and meat and brown. (If the meat releases a lot of water -- a common ocurrence with turkey, use a ladle to spoon off the water.)
2. While the meat is browning, drain the liquid from one can of beans
3. When the meat is cooked through, add the beans, tomatoes and chili powder. Add a few vigorous shakes of cayenne, a generous pinch of sugar, and a pinch of salt.
4. Bring the mix to a boil, then simmer at the lowest possible boil for at least 90 minutes. Or as long as three hours. Just keep the boil very low.

Serve with cheddar cheese and chopped onions. It's even better the second day.
