This was good! I made a few changes, of course! I used 1 tsp chili powder and 2 tsp taco seasoning mix, plus a whole large onion and no peppers (personal taste on that one). Next time, I will cook the onions first, as the meat was chewy and overdone by the time the onions were caramelized. Note: Brown the meat in a LARGE pan or do in 2 batches!

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
