- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder

Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, ground beef, diced bell peppers, and chopped jalapeno.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring and using a spatula or spoon to break up the ground beef, until meat is completely browned and peppers are becoming tender.
- Stir in tomato sauce, salt, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and beef broth.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-10 minutes til reduced and thickened.

Notes
- In place of the ground beef, I often use ground Italian sausage. It might seem a little strange to use "Italian" sausage in place of ground beef in a tex-mex flavored recipe, but trust me, it works!
