Notes

No ground beef? - you can sub ground chicken or turkey instead.
No onion? - use shallot or the white part of a leek instead.
No beef broth? - chicken, mushroom, veggie, or water in a pinch, but for an extra boost of flavor use broth.
No fire-roasted tomatoes? - just used regular diced tomatoes and also a couple shakes of smoked paprika
No kidney beans? - substitute black beans or pinto beans in their place.
Make it vegan - add 2 additional cans of beans of choice in place of the meat.
