Steps

Sequence	Step

1	Combine beef and onion, brown in pot sprayed with Pam.
2	Add Beans (use 3 cans of your favorite... for black beans, rinse them first). ALso add the canned diced tomatoes (I buy the tomatoes with jalapeno peppers. The fire roasted tomatoes are good too.
3	Add the spices (cumin, oregano, and chili powder to taste) Note that I often add the cumin and chili powder to the beef and onions in step 1 to prevent clumping )
4	Add the chopped green pepper
5	Simmer for 45 minutes. (Add 1 T of unsweetened cocoa during the last 15 min of cooking.. note that it adds a smoky flavor and a great deep color.. you won''t taste the chocolate)
6	Turn the burner off and mix in 1 chopped avocado. Make about 10 cups.
7	NOTE If you find that it''s a bit thick, add about 2 cups of water while it''s simmering...(I usually rinse the tomato can with water and pour it in..
