Step 1: In a large pot that holds at least 2 quarts, brown ground beef and chopped onions. Season with salt and pepper as the beef and onion cook. Drain grease, if needed.
Step 2: Add chili seasoning and chili powder and mix well. For a little extra kick, a few dashes of cayenne pepper goes in nicely at this step.
Step 3: Add tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, and beans. Go ahead and let some or all of the tomato and bean juice go into the pot for added flavor.
Step 4: Add about 1/2 cup of water or broth; less or more depending on your thickness preference and depending on how much juice you added from the cans above.
Step 5: Stir in flour and sugar until well combined.
Step 6: Simmer on stovetop for about 30 minutes.
Step 7: Serve with cheese, crackers, sour cream, and/or chips.
