   Brown your ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat (*Note: this recipe makes quite a lot so find your biggest pot! If you start to have trouble fitting everything, it's okay to cut back on the added beans). Add all other ingredients, place a lid on the pot and bring ingredients to a boil over high heat. Then, reduce heat and simmer 30-45 minutes. Enjoy!
