  • Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until tender; add beef and garlic. Cook, breaking up beef with a wooden spoon, just until meat has lost its pink color.
  • Stir in cumin, oregano and salt; cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes and water. With a wooden spoon, break up whole tomatoes into chunks. Add bouillon cubes and chili powder. Bring to a simmer, breaking up any remaining chunks of meat.
  • Cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring once. Stir in beans. Cook uncovered 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
  • Taste and add more salt and chili powder if desired. Heat 3 to 5 minutes longer if additional chili powder is added.

Tweaks

  1. We wanted a meatless version, so we dropped the ground beef, decreased the oil to 1 Tbs, replaced the tomatoes with a can of Rotel (could use 2 for more spice), used a 28 oz can of pintos (black beans would work as well) and the salt we used was a chipotle spiced salt. All the cans were undrained, so we didn't add water or bullion. We topped with shredded cheese and cilantro. Yum.

I love food! I collect cookbooks and recipes and read them the way most people read novels. I have no children but I have two cats who also love to eat. I am also a movie buff and one of my biggest pet peeves is when people talk during a movie!
