Description

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 onion, diced (brown, white, yellow)
• 1 red capsicum (bell pepper), diced
• 1lb / 500g ground beef (mince)
• 1 - 2 tsp cayenne pepper or chilli powder (adjust spiciness to taste) (Note 1)
• 2 tsp paprika powder (smokey or normal, not sweet)
• 1½ tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder (or onion powder)
• 1 beef bouillon cube, crumbled (Note 2)
• ½ tsp sugar (any type)
• 3 tbsp tomato paste (puree)
• 14oz / 420g can crushed tomato
• 14oz / 420g can red kidney beans, drained
• ½ - ¾ cup water
• Salt and pepper
• White rice
• Sour cream

Directions

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion, cook for 1 minute, then add capsicum and cook for 2 minutes until onion is translucent.
• Turn heat up to high and add beef. Cook, breaking it up as you go, until mostly browned.
• Add cayenne pepper, cumin, paprika and garlic powder. Cook until beef is browned all over. (This step helps release extra flavour from the spices)
• Add remaining ingredients (start with ½ cup water). Bring to simmer then turn down to medium to simmer gently.
• Cook for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens. It can be cooked for up to 1 hour for really tender meat and a deeper, richer flavour (lid on, top up water as required).
• Adjust salt and pepper to taste just before serving.
• Serve with white rice and a dollop of sour cream (See note 3 for other serving suggestions)
