Instructions

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and spices. Brown the beef for 2-3 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula or large spoon.
1 tbsp olive oil, 1 lb ground beef, 1 small onion, 1 tsp ground cumin, 2 tsp smoked paprika powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the tomato purée, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Add the cannellini including the brine and the drained black beans. Mix to fully combine.
2 garlic cloves, 2 cups tomato purée, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 15 oz cannellini beans, 15 oz black beans
Bring the bean hamburger sauce to a boil and reduce it to a simmer. Slow-cook it for 20 minutes, stirring it occasionally to ensure no meat or beans stick to the bottom of the pan or pot.
Season to taste and serve as part of a savory breakfast over eggs, bacon, and hash browns. Garnish with fresh parsley if you like.
