Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 15 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, with juices
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup shredded cheese (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the pan and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Reduce the heat to medium, then add the kidney beans, pinto beans, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir to combine.
Add the chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
Simmer the mixture for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or spices to your preference.
Serve the beans and hamburger mixture warm in bowls. If desired, top with shredded cheese and garnish with chopped parsley for extra flavor.
