1 lb. ground beef
1 green pepper, chopped
1 lg. onion, chopped
1 c. water
2 (16 oz.) cans whole tomatoes, undrained & chopped
2 tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 (15 oz.) cans pinto beans, undrained

Combine ground beef, pepper and onions in a Dutch oven. Cook until meat is browned, stirring to crumble. Drain off drippings. Stir in remaining ingredients except beans. Cover and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add beans and simmer 5 minutes. This is a very good soup for a cold day.
