2 C Minced Fresh Mushrooms
1-2 Cans Red Kidney Beans (15.5 oz, about 2 C)

Directions:
Directions:
I use the food processor to mince the mushrooms, you can not tell them from your ground meat when you are done and this makes the recipe much lower in fat and calories. Place oil in a Dutch oven (large pan). Brown meat, onions, mushrooms and bell pepper. Add the rest of ingredients and simmer for at least 30 minutes.
