2 lb Lean ground beef
1 qt Water
4    Small onions, chopped
1 ts Garlic powder
4 ts Chili powder
2 ts Crushed red pepper
4 ts Cumin
1 tb Salt
5    Medium Bay leaves
1 ts Ground allspice
1 1/2 tb Vinegar
2 tb Worstershire sauce
6 oz Tomato paste

Add ground beef to water in a large pot and stir until beef separates to
a fine texture. Add all other ingredients. Stir to blend. Whisper “I love
the Reds” and “the Bengals really arent that bad.” Bring to a boil and
reduce heat to simmer uncovered for about 3 hours. May cover for the last
hour if desired consistency has been reached.
