Key ingredient: FRESH garlic!! For a pound and a half
of beef, three fat cloves, smashed first then diced. Put them in while you
are browning the meat, but toward the end. You want them cooked but
not browned hard. Brown some diced onions in there too! Then just
chili powder, added to the beef and onions and garlic. It will be perfect.
