Serves : 8

Comments: You can substitute ground turkey or ground pork for the ground beef.

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 pound ground beef (preferably leaner)
  • 3/4 pound cooked kidney beans or cannellini beans
  • 4 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

Instructions:

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; cook about 3 minutes.

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up chunks, until no longer pink. Add all the remaining ingredients except for salt and pepper. Cook until well-combined and the mixture has thickened, about 2 to 3 more minutes.

Add salt and pepper to taste.
