Time 40m

Yield 4 portions, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup onion, diced
5 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1 lb ground beef
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons beef bouillon
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Saute onion in oil in a large skillet over medium low heat until translucent. Add jalapeno and cook about 10 minutes more. Remove onion and peppers and set aside.
  • Raise heat to medium and quickly brown ground beef. Drain off fat and return onions and peppers. Add tomatoes, garlic, bouillon, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Saute over low heat for 15 minutes.
  • This can also be prepared using beef broth rather than the bouillon. You would add it at the same time, just cook until desired consistency.
