Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, simmer, stirring frequently, until butter is browned, fragrant, and foamy, with brown bits in it, 5 to 10 minutes. Add pepper and stir for about 10 seconds. Immediately stir in chopped onion to prevent butter from burning. Add salt and saute, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. Add ground beef. Cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add undrained kidney beans and undrained corn. Mix and bring liquid to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid cooks down into a sauce that just coats the back of a spoon, 20 to 30 minutes. Add drained beans during the last 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt or pepper as desired.

  3. Stir well and ladle into bowls.
