Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cups 13 Bean Soup Mix
• 2 Tbsp Oil
• 1 medium Onion, chopped (about 1–1 ½ cups)
• 1 clove Garlic, minced (about 1 tsp)
• 1–2 Tbsp Chili Powder
• 1 tsp Sea Salt, plus more to taste
• 3 cups Water
• 1 lb Ground Beef
• 1 pinch Ground Pepper, to taste
• 2 8 oz cans Tomato Sauce

Instructions

1. Rinse soup mix before using. Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft, 7–10 minutes. Add garlic, chili powder and salt and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add soup mix and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the beans have just begun to soften, about 60 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, brown beef in a large saute pan; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add browned beef and tomato sauce to the beans and simmer for 1 hour. Adjust consistency with more water, if desired.
