Instructions
Prepare the seasoning by measuring all seasoning ingredients into the same bowl and mix together with a fork.
Brown ground beef in a skillet until no longer pink. Drain off fat from ground beef and return beef to pan.
Add the tomatoes and seasoning mix and stir to combine. Stir in the beans and the broth. Add enough of the water to make it easy to stir.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. If mixture becomes too thick, add more of the water and continue simmering until warmed through.
There are many ways to change up the spices, the seasoning recipe is just a great starter! Try adding green bell peppers and diced onion, and for more heat toss in diced jalapenos.
Serve with my delicious sweet cornbread slathered in butter and honey.

I drain my beans but I don’t rinse them. You can rinse them if you are concerned about the added sodium.
