Step 1

Add the olive oil to a large pot, and sauté the onion, bell peppers, and jalapeño until soft.

Step 2

Add the garlic, continue to sauté until garlic is fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground beef and cook until thoroughly browned.

Step 4

Drain fat if desired.

Step 5

Add all other ingredients except the cayenne pepper to the pot and bring to a boil, stirring regularly.

Step 6

Reduce heat and simmer, stirring periodically, until it thickens to your desired consistency. I like mine thick. While simmering, taste and add small amounts of cayenne pepper in batches until spicy heat is adjusted to fit your desires.
