By carvalhohm2

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 Round onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 lb ground Portuguese Sausage
• 1 large can Red kidney beans
• 1 large can tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup celery, chopped
• 1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
• 3 tbsp real mayonnaise
• 2 tsp red wine
• 1 tsp powdered chicken bouillon
• 1 bay leaf, crushed
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp Ajinomoto (MSG)
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp grated ginger
• 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
• 1 pinch paprika
• 1 pinch ground cumin

Preparation

Step 1

Brown hamburger and halfway through, add onions and celery. Cook until onions are turning translucent.

Add all remaining ingredients. Simmer for 1+ hours.

My changes:
Did not drain the kidney beans
Doubled chili powder and cumin
Added 3 tbsp mayonnaise
Grated my ginger
Used ground cumin instead of cumin seed

The original posted recipe lists Cream of Mushroom as a variation, but I haven’t tried that yet.
