1 cup Onion, diced

1 cup Green Pepper, diced

1 can Red Kidney Beans, rinsed

In a large stock pot, brown ground beef. Strain browned beef to remove any oil. Add celery, onions & green peppers. Cook for 5 minutes until veggies are tender. Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 1 hour. Can also be made in the crock pot using pre-browned beef (High for 4 hours or low for 8). Great freezer meal. This recipe makes enough for 12 servings...lots left to freeze for another meal or lunches.

Serve with sour cream & shredded cheese.

Perfect way to warm up on a cold day.
