We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a large dutch oven, cook ground meat over medium-high heat. Stir frequently until browned and in crumbles. If using turkey, add one tablespoon of vegetable oil since turkey is so lean.

  • Step 2: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked beef or turkey to a separate plate and set aside. Keep one tablespoon of grease in the dutch oven and throw out the rest.

  • Step 3: Add the onion and garlic to the dutch oven and saute on medium heat until onion is soft, stirring frequently (4-5 minutes).

  • Step 4: Throw in the remaining ingredients and the cooked meat back in the dutch oven and stir to combine.

  • Step 5: Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

  • Step 6: Serve immediately. Offer garnishings, if desired.
