1 lb. ground chuck
1 medium onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/2 bell pepper
1 can tomatoes
2 tbsp. flour
1 can red kidney beans, drained

Brown about a pound of ground chuck in small amount of oil. When meat is browned, add onion. Let this cook for several minutes. Next, add celery and bell pepper, then a can of tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let these ingredients cook slowly for about 5 minutes. At this point, if mixture is too juicy, it may be thickened by adding about a tablespoon of flour to make a smooth paste. Add red kidney beans. Simmer for 30 minutes.
