Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 fresh cayenne peppers, very finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 lb extra lean ground beef
  • 12 teaspoon paprika
  • 12 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 3 large tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 2 cups water

Method

  • Start rice so that it will be done when chili is done.
  • Saute bell pepper, onion, cayenne peppers and garlic in olive oil.
  • Sprinkle with white pepper.
  • When onions are almost translucent, add ground beef.
  • Chop it as it cooks so that it is crumbly.
  • Sprinkle paprika, chili powder, and vinegar over beef.
  • Cook at medium heat until is it lightly browned.
  • Add tomatoes.
  • I like to mash them with a potato masher once they've been cooking for a few minutes.
  • Add black beans once the tomatoes are soft.
  • Cover and reduce heat slightly.
  • Cook for about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Serve over rice.
