1 lb Extra-lean ground beef
1 md Onion -- chopped fine
30 ml Garlic -- finely chopped
1 lg Green pepper -- cut into
1/2    "

2 cans 28oz Crushed Tomatoes 2 teaspoons Oregano 2 teaspoons
Cumin 3 tablespoons Chili powder 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder 2
teaspoons Sugar 1 teaspoon Crushed hot pepper 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 can 15oz kidney beans — rinsed a strainer

In a 2 1/2 quart saucepan cook the meat over medium heat until it is well
done, about 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently to crumble the meat. Pour off
the fat. With a slotted spoon transfer meat to paper towels to absorb extra
fat and wipe the remaining fat residue from the saucepan. In the same pot,
saute the onion, garlic, and green pepper with 1/2 cup of the crushed
tomatoes for 3 minutes. Add the oregano, cumin, chili powder, cocoa powder,
sugar, hot pepper, and Tabasco sauce, and continue cooking for 3 minutes
more. Add the beans, meat, and the remaining crushed tomatoes, and cook
together for 25 minutes over low heat. YIELD: Makes 8 1-cup servings Each
