Ingredients
  

  • 500 g extra lean beef mince
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 large carrot finely chopped
  • 1 large red bell pepper finely chopped
  • 2 jalapenos deseeded and chopped
  • 400 g kidney beans drained
  • 800 g chopped tomatoes canned
  • 10.5 tablespoons tomato paste puree
  • 3 cups beef stock
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • olive oil spray

Method
 

  1. Spray a large casserole dish over medium-high heat with some olive oil spray. Add the mince, onion, and garlic into the dish. Fry until browned.
  2. Add in the finely chopped carrots and fry for a few more minutes.
  3. Add the spices—paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), oregano—along with chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, red bell pepper, jalapenos, balsamic vinegar, and beef stock into the pot. Bring everything to a boil.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the kidney beans. Cover and let it cook for about 45 minutes to an hour until the sauce has reduced and thickened nicely.
  5. Spoon out generous portions into bowls and top with your favorite toppings like fresh herbs or sliced avocado if desired.
