Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil
  • 1 med Yellow Onion
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1 6 oz can Tomato Paste
  • 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1/4 tsp Allspice
  • 1/8 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp Ground Cloves
  • Salt to Taste

Instructions

  • ln a large skillet, over medium heat fry onion and garlic in oil until soft. Add meat and spices, periodically stir and break up any clumps of beef with a fork. Cook until the meat is no longer pink.
  • Once the meat is cooked though, add beef broth, tomato paste and brown sugar. Simmer 10 minutes. Use a blender to further give the meat a finer texture, a couple of quick whirls here and there are all you need.
  • Simmer 1 hour, adding more beef broth if necessary to keep it moist, but avoid adding too much and letting the sauce get soupy.
