1 lb lean ground beef
1 1/2 cups chopped peeled onions
1 cup chopped seeded green bell pepper
3 garlic cloves, crushed
8 ounces cooked kidney beans
8 ounces cooked hominy
1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon crushed dried oregano

2 cups water

Steps:

In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté ground beef, onion, green bell pepper and garlic until vegetables are tender and beef is browned, about 6 minutes; drain.
Stir in kidney beans, hominy, salt, basil, pepper, sugar, oregano and red pepper flakes. For a soup consistency, similar to Mexican Pozole, add up to 2 cups water* until desired consistency is reached. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Serve warm over rice or pasta.
*NOTE:.
Without adding the water, meat mixture can be used as an empanada filling.
