Ingredients
- 1.5 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1.5 tbsp mild chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 14 oz canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 30 oz canned kidney beans, drained
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat and cook the onion, garlic, and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and paprika and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, kidney beans, and beef broth, bring to a simmer, and cook uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
- Season with the salt and pepper.
- Ladle into bowls and serve hot, an easy one-pot German families make plainer and milder than the Tex-Mex original, especially with kids at the table.
