• 2 lbs ground beef (=1 kg)
• 1 L (2 500ml boxes) diced tomatoes (tomatostukjes) 
• 1 L (2 500 mL boxes) tomato sauce or sieved tomato
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 1 small green pepper, chopped (1/4 cup)
• 1/4 cup chili powder
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1/8 tsp cayenne
• 2 cans red beans, drained

Method:

Brown meat, drain, and set aside. Sauté onion, celery, and bell pepper until softened. 

Combine ingredients in large pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
