In a Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until fully cooked.

Drain any excess fat.

Stir in the Chili-o seasoning mix, water, cut-up tomatoes, drained kidney beans, and cayenne pepper sauce.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and cover.

Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

Garnish with chopped red pepper, green onion, and shredded cheddar cheese if desired.
