Introduction

I have developed this recipe, via trial and error, over a period years. This is its ultimate evolution and by all accounts, delicious. This is perfect on a cold winter day with a warm piece of cornbread (I like it on top of Frito's topped with cheese and red onion!) or during the summer accompanied by a tossed salad. Regardless, I hope y'all enjoy it!

Ingredients

Serves: 4

2 pounds ground beef
2 large onions
2 cloves pressed garlic

½ cup water
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon fresh oregano
salt
⅕ teaspoon ground cloves
⅕ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅕ teaspoon ground allspice
