Ingredients

1 pound of ground beef

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

5 tablespoons chili powder

3 teaspoons ground cumin

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon dried oregano

2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth, divided

2 (14 ounce) can of tomato sauce

1 can of diced tomatoes

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons of sugar

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute the ground beef in the oil for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the garlic.

In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin and flour. Sprinkle over the meat and stir until evenly coated. Crumble the oregano over the meat and pour in 1 1/2 cans of the broth. Add the remaining ingredients and stir together well, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer, partially covered for about 90 minutes.

Cool, cover and refrigerate to allow the flavors to blend overnight.
