- 5 tsp (2.5 ml) salt
- 5 tsp (2.5 ml) ground black pepper
Instructions
- Collect all the necessary items.
- Warm the oil in a large pot on medium heat. Add the ground beef, cooking and stirring until it is browned evenly, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the onion and cook until it becomes soft.
- Pour in the water, then combine the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, and minced garlic.

Notes
- For a healthier twist, opt for lean ground turkey or beef instead of regular ground beef.
- Enhance the flavor by adding a touch of Worcestershire sauce or a splash of hot sauce.
- Achieve a thicker texture by incorporating a tablespoon of tomato paste or cooking uncovered in the final 10 minutes.
