I got this recipe from the restaurant where I work. It's famous in our town for the blend of seasonings, and now the secret is out!

Ingredients

• 3 pounds ground beef
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 2 cups water
• 5 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

1. In a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles; drain. Add water and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until the water is evaporated, about 15 minutes.
