2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can red beans, undrained

Steps:

Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef until browned and crumbly, 10 to 15 minutes; drain and discard grease.

Top each serving with about 1 tablespoon Cheddar cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons onion, and hot sauce; season with salt and pepper.
