2 cans petite diced tomatoes
5 – 6 T. chili powder (more if desired)
1 ½ tsp. salt

4 T. ground cumin (more if desired)
Paprika to taste
Cayenne pepper to taste
Directions:
Brown meat in oil; add chopped onion and diced pepper and sauté until soft. Add rest of ingredients. Cover and simmer on low 1 ½ hours, stirring frequently so it doesn’t burn on bottom of pan. Freezes well.
Serve with sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped scallions and Fritos. Beer is usually a good choice of beverage!
This was a fun one to make! I'd definitely suggest a pair of goggles, chopping 2 large onions...
