1/4 cup chopped red pepper
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard

Note: Ground turkey or textured vegetable protein are acceptable substitutions for ground beef!

Directions:
In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the onions, garlic, red/green peppers and ground beef.  Drain liquid.  If you need to add liquid to your pan, then try a little organic beef broth.  Very tasty!

Stir in the mustard, ketchup, peeled tomatoes and brown sugar; mix thoroughly. Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste!
