This recipe might better be described as chili stew. Primary ingredients: ground beef; onions; green pepper; tomatoes; and beans.

Beef and Bean Chili; Makes 4 servings (good idea to double it)

4 teaspoons olive oil
2 onions, chopped
1/2 carrot, chopped
1/2 celery stalk, chopped
1/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno, minced
3/4 lb lean ground beef
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin, ground
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon coriander, ground
14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
16 ounce can pinto/red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 teaspoon salt
pinch of pepper
Crushed red pepper as needed to punch up heat

Topping
1/4 cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup red onion, chopped

1. In a large nonstick saucepan, heat oil. Saute onions, carrot, celery, bell pepper, garlic, and jalepeno until onions are translucent (~15 min.). Add beef and cook until no longer pink (~5-7 min.).
2. Stir in chili powder, cumin, oregano, coriander. Cook another minute or so.
3. Add tomatoes, beans, salt, and pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring ocasionally, until flavors blend (~20 min.).
4. Serve topped with sour cream, red onion, and cilantro.

I serve it with the Jiffy Corn Bread mix as instructed on box adding 1/4 cup of sugar and a diced jalapeño.
