Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 red pepper

- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 15 oz can of diced tomatoes
- 1 cup tomato sauce (UK: tomato passata)
- 1 15 oz can of pinto beans (drained)

Instructions
- Start by preparing the ingredients. Finely dice the onions and pepper, and grate the garlic or dice it very finely.
- Heat some olive oil or cooking spray in a pan on medium heat. Add the ground beef, and cook until all the meat has browned. Add diced onions to the beef, and sauté for a few minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Then, add all the seasoning and garlic, and stir to coat the meat evenly for about one minute.
- Pour the meat and onions into the slow cooker.
- Add the diced peppers, canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and drained and rinsed canned pinto beans to the slow cooker. Leave it to cook for 2-4 hours on high, or 4-6 hours on low heat.
- If the timer runs out and you're not ready to eat yet, you can leave the slow cooker on the warm setting to keep the dish hot for a few hours.
