• 2. While meat is browning, open beans and rinse and drain in a colander. When meat is brown, add all of the beans, the diced tomatoes and most of the tomato juice. Stir in the remainder of the spices and the sugar. Add the remaining tomato juice if there is enough room in the pan. Stir, bring to a boil, turn heat down to low and simmer for at least 1 hour.
