Instructions
In large skillet, brown ground beef. Drain off any liquid during this process to ensure beef browns and doesn't just steam.

Add garlic, seasoning, basil and cinnamon, cook for 1 more minute.
Add evaporated milk and simmer for about 8 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed.
Add red and green peppers, mustard and diced tomatoes and simmer for another 8 to 10 minutes until heated through and thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and extra hot sauce or cayenne if desired.
Stir in chopped greens and cook for about 2 minutes until just wilted.
Serve over cooked rice.
Notes
Substitute cajun or creole seasoning with paprika, thyme, cayenne pepper, and black pepper to suit your taste preferences.
