In a large (4 quart) saucepan over medium-high heat, add ground beef and salt. Break the beef up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook until cooked through, stirring occasionally. Add tomatoes, beans, jalapenos and crushed red pepper flakes (to taste - use less for mild, more for hot). Stir. Simmer 5 minutes.
Taste for flavor, if it tastes flat consider adding a little more salt (a pinch at a time).
