Preparation
To start, prepare your veggies. Dice the onion, peppers, carrots and sweet potatoes, then mince the garlic, set aside.
Add a splash of olive oil to a large dutch oven over medium high heat, add ground beef and break up with a wooden spoon. Fry until almost browned, about 5-7 minutes, then add prepped veggies, spices, salt, pepper and sauté for another 5 minutes. Next add beans, stock and diced tomato. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until sweet potatoes and carrots are tender. Taste and season again if needed.
