Ingredients

• 1 pounds 80% lean ground beef
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 medium sweet onion, diced
• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen yellow and white whole kernel corn
• 1 (15 ounce) can light red kidney beans

Directions

Step 1: Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 2: Add the chopped bell pepper and diced onion to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Drain any excess grease from the pot and discard it.

Step 4: To the pot, add the corn, kidney beans, pinto beans, diced tomatoes, water, brown sugar, chili seasoning mix, and mustard. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 5: Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for 20 minutes.

Step 6: After 20 minutes, uncover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and continue cooking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the beans are tender and the flavors have melded together.
