Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1 cup diced onion

  • 1 cup diced green bell pepper

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • ¼ cup medium salsa (such as Pace®)

  • ½ tablespoon Greek seasoning (such as Cavender's®)

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • kosher salt to taste

  • 1 (15 ounce) can Southwestern-style beans, undrained (such as Ranch Style®)

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion and bell pepper and cook until onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. Add in salsa, Greek seasoning, pepper, and salt. Cook and stir until well combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in beans. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer to desired thickness, about 20 minutes. Add water if sauce becomes too thick.
