- 14 oz (400g) Kidney beans drained and rinsed

Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced onion and peppers. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the beef mince and cook until browned, about 7 to 8 minutes. Break into pieces but don't stir constantly.

- Pour in the chopped tomatoes and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the sweet potato (if using). Stir to combine.
