29 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained

Brown ground beef in a dutch oven or large pot over med-high heat. Drain excess fat. Add bell peppers and saute 3-5 minutes. Add tomato puree, diced tomatoes and liquid, water, onion soup mix and worcester; salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
