Ingredients
- ¼ cup chicken fat, lard or butter
- 3 large onions, sliced
- 1 green pepper, seeded, cored & chopped
- 3 or more cloves garlic, minced

Steps
- Melt half the fat in a skillet and add onions, green pepper, garlic and celery.
- Cook, stirring, until onions are soft and golden.
- Heat remaining fat in large, heavy skillet and add meat.
- Cook, stirring to break up lumps in meat. Brown meat lightly.
- Add the vegetables to meat.

- Cook for 1 hour, stirring often.
- Add kidney beans with their liquid, and cook for 1 hour longer.

Notes
