Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Drain and rinse the kidney beans.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Beef

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  2. 3

    Add Garlic and Beef

    Add minced garlic and ground beef to the pot. Cook until the beef is browned, about 7-10 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula.

    Add the canned diced tomatoes and drained kidney beans to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  5. 6

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Allow it to cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serving
