Lone Star Chili

2 pounds lean ground beef (the leaner the better)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 large onions, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

5 tablespoons chili powder

1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons dried oregano, crushed

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper

3 cups hot water

1/2 (6-ounce) cam tomato paste

1. Set a large, heavy pot over medium heat.

2. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until brown. Transfer the beef to a bowl and set aside. Discard any drippings in the pot.

3. Heat the oil in the same pot over medium-high heat.

4. Add the onions and garlic: cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
 

5. Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano, black and red pepper and cook, stirring constantly, just until fragrant.

6. Stir in the reserved beef, hot water, and tomato paste, and bring to a boil.

7. Reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture is thick and the flavors are blended, at least 30 minutes longer.
