For the chili beans

  • 1/4 cup olive oil divided

  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 medium green pepper diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound ground beef

Instructions

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in large Dutch oven, over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add stew meat and sauté for 10 minutes, until meat is browned on all sides. Remove stew meat from pan and set aside.

  • Season with salt, as needed.
