- 0.5 lb ground beef
- Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
- 2/3 cup beef stock
- 1/2 cup gouda cheese shredded

Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground meat and cook, mincing it with a wooden spoon as it browns. About 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the bone broth and stir through the bottom of the pan to deglaze it. Allow the liquid to reduce by half about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the shredded cheeses and stir continuously until melted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the beans, onions, tomatoes and stir well to combine. The mixture should already be creamy, allow it to simmer for a bit to meld all the flavors for another 3-4 minutes.
