In a skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, bell pepper, and jalapeno, cook 3-5 minutes, until soft. Add beef and garlic, cook 5-7 minutes, until beef is no longer pink. Add tomato paste and carrot, stir well. Add ketchup, water, brown sugar, mustard, worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and hot sauce.
