This makes an extremely robust dish that can be served with rice, cauliflower rice, or even just on its own. The version below is the good version - if you're a wimp, you can scale back the quantities of chilli powder and raw chilis.

You will need:

800g lean mince
Can of chopped tomatoes
Can of kidney beans
Can of baked beans
Tomato puree
An onion
A pepper
Garlic
Chilli powder
Ghost chilis
Salt and pepper
Worcestershire sauce
Red wine
Surgical gloves
Toilet roll

Season the mince with salt and pepper, and then brown off the mince in a large frying pan - I personally use a wok for this.
Chop up the onions into whatever size you want and fry them up with mince.
Empty the can of kidney beans (including the water) and give them a good stir and heat through.
Put the toilet paper in the fridge.
Chop up the pepper(s) and grate the garlic and mix this all in.
Then add the baked beans, chopped tomatoes, a few glugs of Worcestershire sauce and red wine. A squirt of tomato puree is also a good idea. Turn down the heat.

You'll now be faced with what looks like a distinctly unpromising watery mess. Don't panic. Magic happens.

Add a good shovelful of chilli powder to the mix (ok, 2 tbsp). Put on some surgical gloves and then chop up the ghost chilis. You will probably only need about half a chili for this - any more and it becomes REALLY hot.

If you don't have surgical gloves, you can still chop up the chili BUT DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES pick your nose, scratch your eye or interact with any delicate part of your or someone else's anatomy.

Now mix all this stuff together and leave it on a low heat. Go find something else to do (like washing your hands repeatedly) and pop back in every 10 mins or so to give the mix a stir. I usually like to put this on for a good three hours or so.

After about 30 minutes, you'll start to see the magic happening. Your previously watery, reddish gloop with anaemic looking mince will transform into Kim Kardashian - dark, gorgeous and a bit thick. Just let the mince do its thing - as you leave it, the flavours become much more pronounced, meaty and robust. After 2-3 hours, you should have a delicious mix that's strong enough to stand a spoon in and give your insides a good polishing. This will serve around 4 people. However, it's particularly delicious to keep in the fridge and microwave the next day to eat on its own.

Can't guess at the carb requirements off the top of my head but bear in mind with tomatoes, kidney beans and baked beans, there will be a reasonably amount of carbs in this.
 
I think you've come up with another belter there. I loved the soup. I never thought of putting baked beans in mine, but do usually throw in heaps of chopped mushrooms.
 
Eugh, mushrooms! That's fungus!

You can also pep this up even more with some chopped chorizo. A good veggie version is to swap out the mince for either Quorn mince or add other kinds of beans to the meal. Although the more beans you add, the less likely it is that someone will want to sit in a confined space with you afterwards.
