Ingredients

2 1/2 lbs ground beef

2 onions, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

Vegetable oil for frying

1/3 cup cumin, or more to taste

1/2 cup mild banana pepper rings, chopped, juice from jar reserved

1-2 minced jalapeños (optional)

1 tsp oregano

12 oz Spanish chorizo, cut in 1/4" dice (optional)

2 LARGE cans kidney beans

3 28 oz cans chopped diced tomatoes

Salt to taste

Hot sauce to taste

Directions

Heat oil in a large pan.

Brown ground beef, onions, and garlic.

Add cumin and cook a minute or two more, stirring regularly.

Add banana peppers, jalapeños if using, and oregano and stir.

Add chorizo, if using.

Place mixture in crock pot or stockpot.

Add tomatoes, beans, and juice from pepper jar to pot. (If you don't have enough juice, red wine vinegar will do, too.)

Stir and add salt and hot sauce to taste.

Cook on high for 2 hours, or low for 6 hours if using a crock pot. If using the stovetop, cook on medium heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally..

Serve with shredded cheese and chopped cilantro on the side. (Some people strongly dislike cilantro, saying it tastes like soap. I happen to love it, though.)
