                                                2 teaspoons cumin powder  |  
                                                3 tablespoons chili powder  |  
                                                1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper  |  
                                                2 teaspoons salt  |  
                                                2 cups water  |

                                1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat; drain off fat. 2. Using a fork, crumble the beef into pea size pieces. 3. In a large pot, combine the beef plus all remaining ingredients, and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook, stirring every so often, for 2-3 hours. 4. For spicier chili, add 1/2 teaspoons more black pepper. For much spicier chili, add 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and a tablespoon cayenne. (We like it hot, so I added 5-6 jalepeno peppers. 5. Leftovers can be frozen for several months.                              |
