Succotash is an old recipe, it dates back from as far as 1750 and probably originated in New England, USA. Many succotash recipes exist, some with cream, some with pork or bacon, but this is a vegetarian version to which you can add your own favorite sauce.

Cut the peppers, the pineapple and the tangerine in pieces. Fry the onions and the peppers 5 minutes, add the ground beef and fry 10 Minutes. Add the drained beans, tomato sauce and chili peppers and cook for 10 minutes. If you use dried soaked beans, pre-cook them for one hour, if they come from a can just add them. Finally, add the pineapple and the tangerine.

Chili con carne is not Mexican, but it comes from the United States, so-called Tex-Mex. There is a lot of history around it and recipes can differ per state. You can use chili powder instead of chili peppers as well.
