• Put in large pot, cover with fresh water (optional: add a few bay leaves), bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer covered for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine ground beef, onion and pepper, and fry until beef is browned. Drain in a mesh strainer, colander or on paper towel to get excess grease off.
• Drain beans (tip: you can freeze the bean stock as a base for delicious soups).
• Return beans to their large pot, and add the beef mixture, the tomatoes, and all the flavourings. Stir, bring to a boil, then lower to simmer for 5 minutes to ensure all is heated through evenly.

CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel tomatoes by placing them in boiling water for 30 seconds and then plunging them into cold water. The skin will slide right off. If it doesn't, plunge them in the hot water again.
• Wrap all the whole spices in a little cheesecloth bag.
• Rough chop the remaining ingredients. Don't worry about it being pretty, just chop them up into pieces between 1/4" - 1/2".
• Put all the ingredients into a large stock pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and simmer until thick and reduced by 1/3rd. This will take many hours. 5-10 hours depending on the type of tomatoes you use.
• Taste as you go! If after 3 hours you find you like the taste of it, then remove the spice bag and continue to simmer until thickened. I always leave my spice bag in until the end though.
