  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Cinnamon, to taste
  • Sour cream
  • Brown ground beef in heavy Dutch oven or soup pot. Add chili powder and mix well.
  • Add onion and pepper to meat and cook for 2 minutes. Drain off excess grease.

I leave out the pepper sometimes and it's still delicious! Also, I don't usually add cinnamon.
