6 (15 oz. ea.) cans ranch style beans (or store brand)
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce (Hunts)
1 lb. ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
3 tbsp. chili powder
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp. cumin

Empty beans, tomato sauce and seasoning into a large Dutch oven or saucepan. Add ground beef, crumbling up as best as possible. Add chopped onion and cook on medium-high heat, covered. Stirring occasionally to break up rest of the ground beef. Cook until all meat is done, about 15 minutes.

When I add the spices I normally add enough to taste.
