In a large pot brown meat in stages, about a 1/4 at a time.
Remove meat.
Add onion and garlic and cook until translucent.
Return meat to the pot, add the tomato juice, and 1/2 the spices.
Cook about 1 hour and add the tomato sauce and the rest of the spices.
Let simmer about 2 hours; add the beans and simmer about 30 more minutes, then enjoy.
I like mine served with corn bread and grated cheddar cheese.
