2 (15-oz.) cans black beans
1 (28-oz.) can tomato puree
1 (15-oz.) can corn, drained
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Preheat a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Brown beef until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain.

Add onion and garlic and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add beans (undrained), tomato purée, corn, chili powder, cumin and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and lower heat; simmer gently for 10 minutes until thoroughly heated. Makes 6 servings.
