- 1 medium jalapeño pepper, minced
- 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) chili-seasoned diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a stockpot over medium heat until hot.

- Repeat the browning process with the remaining beef.
- Sprinkle the browned beef with salt.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, along with the chopped onion and minced jalapeño to the pot. Cook for 5-8 minutes until tender.

- Pour in the diced tomatoes and bring to a rolling boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours.
Notes
