Cheap and Easy Chili:

- 1 Red Onion

- 1 kg red kidney beans

- 4 large tomatoes, diced (canned or fresh)

- meat, if you like (I actually like the veggie version, personally).

Chop up the onion, put it in a pot with olive (or other) oil on medium heat. If doing meat, start cooking meat. When the onion turns glassy, add tomatoes and beans, turn heat to low-medium. Add meat when ready. When beans begin to go soft, add spices (I usually use chili powder, cayenne, and salt). Wait another 10 minutes, serve with sour cream and guacamole, if available.
