onions are translucent. Add the meat to the pot. Break up any lumps
with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is evenly
browned. Stir in the remaining ingredients with enough water to
cover. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered,
for 3 hours. Stir often. Taste and adjust seasonings.
