1
If using dried beans, soak them overnight in cold water and precook them before making the rest of the recipe. Cover them with cold water, add 2 bay leaves and salt, and boil until soft.
2
Heat a little olive oil in a skillet and saute the onions, garlic, carrots, and bell peppers together until soft. The last minute, add the mushrooms.
3
Add the cayenne pepper, cumin, and cinnamon and saute another minute.
4
Add the spiced vegetables to a large pot with the ground beef and Worchestershire sauce. Saute until browned while breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon.
5
Once the beef is done, add the crushed tomatoes with their juice. Salt to taste, place the lid halfway on, and simmer 1 hour until the mixture thickens.
6
Near the end of the cooking time, mix in the beans.
