Fry some ground beef with some finely chopped onion, a couple cloves of
garlic, drain fat and add salt, pepper, chilli powder, cumin, some
cinnamon, a bit of sugar, a splash of vinegar and about 1/2 cup of ketchup,
then add a little water and let it simmer until it isn't wet any more. You
can throw a few raisin in there too.
