In skillet cook ground beef and onion till beef is brown and onion is tender; drain off fat.

Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.

Top with cheese.

Cover and heat till cheese melts, about 3 minutes longer.

My variation 1: increase chili powder to 2 1/2 tsp, add 1 tsp cumin, and increase tomatoes to 1 quart (or a 28 oz can).

My variation 2: use 2/3 cup uncooked brown rice. Cook an hour or so, adding water as needed. Add beans during last 20 minutes.
