Saute hot pepper in oil until dark brown and discard. Add garlic to oil and saute until golden brown. In 8 quart kettle, brown beef evenly. Drain excess fat from kettle. Add garlic and oil to meat.

Saute onions and green peppers until tender and add to meat. Add remaining ingredients to meat and cook over low heat covered for 1 hour. If too dry add tomatoes. If too liquid uncover and simmer longer.
