1. Cook ground beef with onion and garlic over medium heat, stirring until meat crumbles are brown.
2. Combine meat mixture, beans and the other ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer in low heat for about 1 hour or until all the flavors blend well, checking the liquid and if it needs more just add beef broth.
