Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 6 onions, chopped
• 1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
• 2 (16 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes, with juice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat a large Dutch oven over high heat until hot. Add ground beef; cook until barely pink, stirring constantly to break into small pieces. Stir in onions and bell pepper; cook until meat has browned, and onions have softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour mixture into a large mesh strainer; press to expel excess grease.

Step 2

Return mixture to Dutch oven. Stir in stewed tomatoes, kidney beans, tomato sauce, and pineapple chunks; season with chili powder and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low; simmer uncovered until reaches desired consistency, about 10 minutes.
