1 pound ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon ginger, grated
1+ scotch bonnet pepper (or habanero pepper), finely diced
2 cups beef broth
2 (14.5 ounce) cans red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes

Steps:

Cook the beef and onion in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, breaking the beef apart with a spoon as it cooks, before draining off any excess grease.
Add the bell peppers and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger and scotch bonnet pepper and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the broth, beans, diced tomatoes, orange juice and zest, lime juice and zest, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, thyme, allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. (Note: You can simmer longer and the flavours will only get better!)
Season with salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
