Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. Ground Beef I like 80/20
  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1 Small Onion diced small
  • 2 Jalapenos seeded and diced small
  • 1 Green Pepper diced small
  • 1 Poblano optional, diced small
  • 2 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1 15 oz. can Tomato Sauce
  • 1 10 oz. can Fire Roasted Tomatoes
  • 4 tbsp. Chili Powder
  • 2 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tbsp. Cumin
  • 1 tsp. Cayenne

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix and combine all your spices.
  • In a pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add your diced onion, peppers, and garlic. Mix in 1 tsp of the spice mixture into the veggies. Saute for 5-6 minutes and stir occasionally so they don't stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Add in the ground beef and use a wooden spatula to break it up a bit. Add in the remaining seasoning to the pot as well. Continue to break up the meat and cook it in the pot with the veggies until it is browned.
  • Next, add in the canned tomato sauce and the fire roasted tomatoes. Stir everything together and let it come to a simmer on medium heat. Once it hits a simmer it is technically "done" but the longer it cooks the more flavor develops. If you prefer to let it cook for a while, cover it with a lid and turn the heat to low. Stir it occasionally as needed.
  • Serve with cheese, sour cream and some green onions or cilantro if desired.

Notes

Feel free to mix and match other peppers and veggies in that you have on hand. This is the perfect recipe to help clean out the fridge and get the kiddos to eat some veggies!
