Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp + 1 t. chili powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 – 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 4 cup beef stock or broth
  • 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 15 oz can kidney beans, drained (or 1 1/2 c. cooked dry beans)
  • 1 15 oz can hominy, drained
  • 1 8 oz can sliced black olives, drained
  • 1 4 oz can diced green chilies, drained
  • Optional items for garnish: shredded cheese, sour cream, tortilla strips or chips

Instructions

  • In a large soup pan or stock pot, cook ground beef with onion, green pepper and garlic. Drain once browned.
  • Stir in all remaining ingredients except garnish items. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for at least 20 minutes. (The flavors will combine and it will taste great after 20 minutes, but simmer all day if you want the maximum flavor.)
