- In a Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Crumble the beef as it cooks. Drain and set aside.
- In the same pot, heat the olive oil. Sauté the onions until tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

- Add the kidney beans and cook until heated through. Serve topped with sour cream and jalapeño slices, if desired.
