List of Ingredients




1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
2 cups chopped yellow onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon Emeril's Original Essence
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (15-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups shredded mild cheddar, optional

Recipe



In a heavy 6-quart pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the meat and stir with a large wooden spoon to break up the meat. Cook, stirring, until the meat is brown and cooked through, 5 minutes.

Add the onions, garlic, chili powder, essence, salt, cumin, and black pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft, 4 minutes.

Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, and water. Stir well and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Yield: 6 cups (about 6 to 8 servings)
