Add green pepper and onions and cook until vegetables are soft about 1 Hrs.

Serving Ideas
The filling can be used in different ways:

The day we make this, it's what's for dinner!
Heat some refried beans, whole kernel corn, the filling, some salsa and shredded cheese and you have a great burrito. Top it with hot sauce and sour cream with 1/2 an avocado on the side and you have supper!

We zip lock bag up the leftover filling and freeze it for future dinners.

If you have a crowd for dinner, just put the hot pot of filling on the table with warm tortillas and whatever toppings you like... and let crowd build their own. Just about any Tex-Mex condiment works good and it makes for a fun dinner.
