-
In a large dutch oven, saute diced peppers and onions until translucent and they start to caramelize.
-
Add seasonings (minus the baking soda) and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously. (Make sure they don’t burn.)
-
Add ground meat and brown until just done. It’s okay if it still has some pink in it before you add the rest of the ingredients.
-
Pour in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water and tomato paste.
-
Bring to a simmer over medium low heat and cook for about 15 minutes. Then add the drained beans.
-
Stir in the baking soda. The sauce will start to bubble up. Stir over medium heat until the bubbles have gone away.
