Brown beef and drain, then place back in pan add in chopped yellow onion and garlic cloves and sauté. Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper. Once onions began to soften add in all canned beans and tomatoes. Add in water and tomato juice. Mix and then add in all seasonings. Bring to a boil for about 10 minutes and stir often so it doesn’t burn. Turn heat down to low and simmer for another 10 minutes with cover on. Serve with crusty garlic toast. Top with cheese, green onions and sour cream. Enjoy!!
Other options to add in are chopped peppers, and mushrooms (when sautéing)
If you like heat top with sliced jalapeños, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
