Stevens simple sweet chili

1 1/2 - 2 lbs 85% or leaner ground beef
1/2 cup chopped yellow or white onion (you can mix in some chopped red onion for variety)
1 envelope (1.75 oz) chili seasoning mix
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, undrained
1 can (15 oz) regular bean chili, any brand
1 Tablesoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Johnny's Seasoning Salt

Preparation:

Heat oil in large pot, or if you prefer to do it separately, then a fry pan and brown ground beef through. Add diced onions, and let them cook together to marry the flavors. Stir in chili seasoning mix and water. Add all canned items (DO NOT DRAIN), stir together, and now slowly add spices and sugars to taste. I vary the amount of sugar and cinnamon slightly for a sweeter chili at times, and usually just stick with 1-1 1/2 Tablespoons of Johnny's seasoning.
