Brown the beef in a Dutch oven, adding one of the diced onions and crushed red pepper flakes as the beef cooks.

Drain off all grease and return to Dutch oven. Add tomato paste and stir. Add beans, beef broth, tomato juice, some salt, pepper, and chilli powder to taste.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer stirring occasionally, untill thick enough to coat the spoon.

Serve cheddar cheese, oyster crackers, sour cream, and/or the other diced onion on the side.
