2 lbs red kidney beans (dried)

2 garlic cloves (mashed and chopped)

1 jalapeno pepper (thinly sliced) (optional)

Rinse beans carefully. (I use quick soak method). Add 16 cups water and bring to boil.
2
Remove from heat and cover for one hour.
3
Put beans back over fire and simmer slowly.
4
Cook ground beef (small amounts at a time so it does not get watery).
5
When beef is slightly brown, remove to another container with a slotted spoon.
6
Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the fat, and saute onions, garlic, and peppers.
7
Return beef to pot, add spices, and stir, cooking slowly over low heat to get flavor into beef.
8
Add tomatoes, paste, juice, salt and sugar.
9
Add to beans, and simmer gently for about 1 to 2 hours or until done.
10
Serve with grated cheese, diced onions, sour cream, and hot sauce. (I use Recipe #187480 ).
