1 lb ground beef
1 large onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper (½ medium pepper)
1 lb can tomatoes, with liquid
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1/3 cup catsup
1 lb can pinto beans
2-3 tsp chili powder
dash cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp oregano
1 tsp salt
This recipe is about as easy as they come.
Combine the beef, onion, and green pepper in a 2½-3 qt Corning Ware dish. Cook, covered on full power for 5-8 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and beef is no longer pink. Stir halfway through to cook uniformly and break up the ground beef. Drain.
Drain the fluid from the can of pinto beans. If the liquid in the can is too thick I pour water over it in a strainer. Combine the beans and remaining ingredients with the beef mixture.
Cook on full power for 10-13 minutes, or until heated throughout. Stir halfway through the cooking time. Remove the bay leaf.
Serves 4 to 6. This recipe keeps well in the refrigerator.
