   2      lb            Lean ground beef
   1      lg            Onion -- chopped
  14      oz            Pimentos (2 jars)
   3 1/2  c             Beef broth
  28      oz            Can whole tomatoes
   1      ts            Ground allspice
   2      ts            Ground cumin
   2      ts            Ground corriander
   4      ts            Oregano
     1/2  c             New Mexico chile
   3      c             Kidney beans (#303) -- drained

Crumble beef into 5 to 6 qt pan over high heat. Cook; stirring, until
beef is well browned. Lift our meat and set aside. Discard all but
2 tb drippings. To drippings, add onion and cook, stirring often,
until onion is soft. Meanwhile, puree pimentos and their liquid in
blender. Return beef to pan with pimento puree, broth tomatoes (break
up with spoon) and their liquid, all spice, cumin, corriander,
oregano, ground chile, and beans. Bring to boil; then reduce heat,
cover, and simmer for 45 minutes. Uncover and continue to simmer
until thickened to you liking; stir often.

Variation:

Substitute roasted red pepper in place of pimento if desired. Proceed
as directed.
