   2      pounds        chili meat
   1      large         onion -- chopped
   2      cloves        garlic -- minced
   2      tablespoons   oil
   2      teaspoons     cumin
   1      tablespoon    chili powder
                        salt and pepper
   3      cups          canned tomatoes with juice
   1      cup           water

In a large pot, saute meat, onion and garlic in oil over medium heat until
browned.  Stir in cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper.  Add tomatoes,
breaking them up into small pieces as you add them.  Add water and mix well.
Simmer over low heat, uncovered, for 1-2 hours.  Stir occasionally to
prevent sticking and add more water if necessary.  Makes 6-8 servings.
