. 3 cloves garlic - diced
. 1 large onion - chopped
. 1 green pepper - chopped

. 1 8oz can tomato sauce

- Brown meat with garlic, onion, green pepper - simmer covered for 30 minutes.
- drain excess fat
- add spices and peppers and stir well
- add tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans and bring to rapid simmer.
- simmer covered for one hour
- depending on the mix - I sometimes add an additional can of stewed tomatos and additional
tomato sauce if needed to enhance the flavor.
