For my picky daughter: I used ground turkey. Reduced the meat to 1 lb and added a 3rd can of beans. I blended the onions and peppers after cooking and I blended the tomatoes. Added a little chipotle chili powder and a little brown sugar. I was out of beef broth, so I used chicken. Reduced the broth to around a cup. It still turned out great. My daughter loved it! It would have been one dish, but I transferred from a frying pan to a pot when I added the tomatoes, beans, and broth.
