Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 2 medium Onion diced
  • 2 medium Bell Peppers diced
  • 4 15 ounce cans Red Kidney Beans drained and rinsed (use a mixture of beans - I like a mix of red kidney beans and black beans)
  • 1 28-ounce can Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 24 ounce jar Marinara Sauce
  • 1 cup Boiling Water
  • 2 tablespoons Red Chili Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • Hot Sauce like tobasco, for garnish
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese for garnish
  • Sour Cream for garnish
  • Green Onions chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cook the ground beef in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until browned. Drain off any excess fat and move the cooked beef to one side of the pot.
  • Add the diced onions and peppers and cook until onions begin to turn soft and translucent (about 8-10 minutes).
  • Add the drained and rinsed beans, diced tomatoes, marinara sauce, water, chili powder, and salt. Stir well, cover, and let simmer on low heat for 30-60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Garnish with hot sauce, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and green onions. Serve hot.
