Delicious blend of spices, veggies, beans, and beef for a crowd-pleasing meal.
Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds dry pinto beans
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen bell pepper, celery, and onion blend (such as Pictsweet® Farms Seasoning Blend)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
  • 3 tablespoons real bacon bits
  • 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 3 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 4 cups water to cover
Instructions:
  • In a large container, cover pinto beans with cool water, allowing them to soak for 8 hours to overnight.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef with vegetable blend and onion, stirring occasionally until beef is cooked through and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease before serving.
  • In a large pot, mix the beef and pinto beans. Stir in chicken broth, tomatoes, bacon bits, Creole seasoning, garlic, salt, black pepper, cumin, mustard, and red pepper flakes. Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients. Simmer until beans are tender, adding water as necessary, for 3 to 4 hours.
