   4      lb            Beef -- coarse grind
   1                    Onion
   2      cl            Garlic
   3      ts            Salt
   1      ts            Mexican oregano

Melt the lard or bacon drippings in a large saute pan over medium
heat. Add the meat to the pan. Break up any lumps with a fork and
cook, stirring occasionally until the meat is evenly browned.

Add the onions and garlic and cook until the onions are translucent.

Stir in the salt, oregano, cumin, water, and tomatoes.

Gradually stir in the ground chile, testing until you achieve the
degree of hotness and flavor the suits your palate. Bring to a boil,
then lower heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour. Stir
occasionally.
