beef taco meat & pork carnitas - about 3 pounds total.  Cut the pork into little cubes.b

note: if you have long COVID or cannot have BEEF for any reason, use all pork

3 cans beans
1 jar Newman's OG marinara
1 small can tomato paste
grate some carrots
slice celery very thin
2 jalapeño peppers & 2 serano peppers (or whatever peppers you want)

1 t. oregano, 1 t. basil, 1-1/2 T. paprika, 1-1/2 T. cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, scant 1/4 t. allspice, big t. cocoa powder, 1 t. brown sugar, black pepper, bay leaf

Get rid of as much fat from the meat as you want, then brown the meat.  Add beans, Newman's sauce, tomato paste and prepared vegetables.  Use water to get all the good stuff from cans and jars then add that to the pot.  About a Newman's jar worth.  Then mix in all the spices.  Stir well and finally add water to desired thickness.  Once it's all bubbling away let it cook about 3 hours stirring every now and then.
