Ground is best)

Cook meat, 1 clove of garlic and 1 onion together. Mix all other
ingredients except, 1 Tbslpsn of cumin, together and pour over meat in a
large pot. Bring slowly to a boil & stir continously until boiling. Cook
at a boil for 10 minutes and then lower heat to Medium Low for 15 minutes
stirring several times. Lower heat again to simmer & cook for 1.5 -2 hours
stirring frequently. Add remaining cumin after cooking for 1 hour. You
may make this hotter by gashing the sides of the Jalapeno peppers & by
adding more of them. This recipe when served over rice with fresh, piping
hot cornbread is hard to beat! It is excellent when served over scrambled
or fried eggs as well. Serves 6-8 persons.
