Magic! I added steak mince as well as the brazed steak and the guests loved it

This was excellent for my family! I decreased the red pepper to 1/8 tsp for my kids' taste and added a large diced and fried jalapeno pepper. I also highly recommend using dried instead of canned kidney beans to avoid the preservative in all canned beans. Just boil water, dump in a pound or 2 of dried kidney beans, boil 2 minutes then remove from heat and let soak for 1 hour. Insert into recipe as noted above = much much better tasting than canned beans! I also increased the liquids to 1 - 32 oz carton of Swanson natural beef broth and 2 - 28 oz cans of Cento crushed tomatoes (also no preservatives in these) since I had extra beans to go with the 2lbs of beef in this recipe. Very tasty! This will definitely become one of our monthly favorites!!
