4-5 pounds of lean ground beef
2 cans of tomato purree/paste
1 onion
1 tsp chopped garlic
1.5 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1.5 tsp cumin
1.5 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1.5 tsp oregeno
1.5 tsp paprika
3/4 cup red wine
olive oil to put in pot

**********if youre making less than 4-5 pounds of beef then just use a tsp of each ingredient instead of 1.5 tsp, and just use 1/2 cup red wine and 1 can of tomato!!


oil pot and let heat up on medium heat
add in 1 chopped onion..let cook for 2-3 minutes
add tsp chopped garlic

when the onion and garlic become translucent add in the ground beef and cook until it just becomes brown
then add in 3/4 cup red wine
let the red wine cook down...takes about 1-2 minutes or so

then add the spices
after about 1-2 minutes add in 2 cans of tomatos.

keep stirring and reduce heat to lowish when it boils.
cover with lid but leave it partly open.
let it simmer on low for 1.5-2 hours and keep stirring every 20 mins or so.

the last 20 minutes i take the lid off and stir every 5-10 minutes.

very important
tenderizes the meat and gives the chilli an unreal taste
leave the wine out and it would be like going through life w nooooo taste buds
