Eureka Chilli

I was talking to Mac recently. "Mom", he said, "it is soooo much cheaper to cook your own food". Eureka!
Yup, you can save a fortune if you cook at home. So this recipe is for Mac. It's super cheap, super easy and super delicious.

You will need:

1 pound of ground beef - you want ground beef with a high fat content which is normally the cheapest.

2 cans of kidney beans

1 spicy chorizo sausage (Spanish) - if you can't find this just skip it

1 onion and a clove or 2 of garlic

Oregano

Large spoonful of tomato paste (buy in toothpaste tubes and keep in fridge. It lasts forever)

1 can peeled tomatoes (Buy lots of these and keep in kitchen because they are very useful)

Worcester Sauce (this is good to have in your kitchen cabinet even if you will only use a little so don't worry about buying a bottle)

Grated cheese ( its cheaper if you grate it yourself but pre-grated is OK)

1) Slice a chorizo sausage into thinish slices.  If you can't find chorizo, just skip this step.

2) Chop an onion and if you like garlic, chop some of that too

3) Put a tablespoon of cooking oil in the pan. Add the onion, garlic and chorizo sausage and cook over very low heat until the onions are translucent. Keep heat low and stir often

4) Add the ground beef and stir

5) When it changes color from red to light brown, add the oregano, tomato paste, the can of tomatoes, four shakes of the Worcester sauce and some salt. Stir. Turn the heat down. Put a lid on it and cook for at least 30 minutes or longer if you can wait that long.

6) Right before you serve, add the grated cheese and let it melt
