List of Ingredients
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup onion, chopped
3 Tablespoons olive oil
2 lb lean beef, chopped
4 cups canned tomatoes, undrained
2 teaspoons salt
2 bay leafs
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed cumin
2-3 Tablespoons chili powder (or to taste)
2 16-oz cans Eden Black soy beans, drain (if using beans)Recipe
Use a deep heavy kettle or Dutch oven, and cook the garlic, onion, olive oil and beef together for about 10 minutes. The meat should be chopped, not ground, and cooked, at this stage, only long enough to lose its red color.
Next add the tomatoes. Add the seasonings and simmer for about an hour or until meat is very tender. Then add the beans and simmer for another 30 minutes. Make this a day or two ahead if you can, for it gets better with age. It can also be made weeks ahead of time and frozen. Freeze only the meat mixture and add the beans when re-heating.
