I've been making this chile for more than a year. imo, it's a dead ringer for the fast-food with a "W" chile. I use very well-drained cans of dark red kidney and pinto beans and have cut the water to 2 cups. Also, I use 2 8-oz cans of tomato sauce so one of them can be no-sodium. I've also used low-sodium taco seasoning because this recipe is extremely high in sodium and cutting the added water in half would make it much too salty. It's delicious sprinkled with shredded sharp cheddar and diced onions.
(A little added sugar helps bring out the flavor, too.

This is delicious!!! Added some Chorizo to the ground beef and I changed out the dry beans and used canned Pinto and Black Bean, also a small can of corn. I did use less water and added just little bit of beer.
