Ингредиенты
- 1 lb lean ground beef (or a combo of turkey and beef)
- 6 sliced bacon, diced (if you dice it semi-frozen, you can dice it more finely, which is preferable)
- 1 T vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 t ground cumin
- 1 sweet bell pepper, diced
- 2/3 cup tomato chutney*
- 2 cups cooked kidney beans (I used an heirloom kidney bean but you can use 1 can, drained and rinsed)
- 2 cups cooked pinto beans (I used a comparable heirloom bean but you can use 1 can, drained and rinsed)
