Directions: |
Directions:This goes together quickly and easily especially if you get all of the ingredients together as described before you start to cook. Measurements do not need to be exact - just close. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Cook meat until no longer pink; drain grease and set aside
In large pot, add olive oil and onions; cook until softened
Add, garlic and green pepper to onions and cook about three minutes - don't brown the garlic or it will be bitter
Add all of the remaining ingredients to the pot as well as the cooked , drained meat
Bring everything to a boil; lower the heat then cover the pot and simmer for 2-3 hours
** a couple of Hershey's kisses or similar chocolate can be added while simmering to boost the flavor**
Serve by itself, on top of macaroni, or on rice as you prefer.

Notes: This was shared by my friend Sharon Petruccelli who brought it to us for dinner one night when we were all under the weather. It definitely made us feel better!
Easy to make ahead and freeze. Nice in cold weather but good anytime.
