1 lb. ground beef
2 c. chopped onion
1/1 c. chopped parsley

Louisiana hot sauce or ground cayenne pepper (if you like)

Brown ground beef over medium heat in large saucepan. Add salt, onions, parsley, and garlic, stirring until onions are tender. Add beef broth, beans, tomato sauce, chili powder, salt, and hot sauce.
