Heat 2 tbsp oil in big pot, add onion and all the seasonings and spices. Cook over a medium heat for approx. 5 minutes until onions are translucent.
Add remaining tbsp oil, turn up the heat to high and add the ground meat. Brown the meat. Do this in batches if necessary and drain the liquid fat that is released.
When the meat is cooked, stir in tomato sauce and water and simmer uncovered for 1 hour. Then add kidney beans and simmer for another hour (covering mixture when it becomes thick). Taste it and add more salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy! The Chii tastes great with shredded cheddar and/or avocado as optional toppings.
