"I made this one night instead of regular chili-style beef and beans. It's good plain or in burritos."

ingredients

2 lbs ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can rotel or 15 ounces medium salsa
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans (drained)
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans (drained)
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon cumin
¹⁄₂ tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or minced garlic)
salt and pepper
sour cream
shredded cheese

directions

In a large pan, melt the butter and saute pepper and onion for about 8 min, until soft.
Add beef and brown. Drain fat.
Add remaining ingredients except sour cream and cheese. If the beef looks too dry, add a second portion of Rotel or salsa. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese and serve with a dollop of sour cream.
Note: You can also add corn or use whatever beans you like best. We often add extra salsa or tomatoes.
