Ingredients:

1 pound of ground beef

1 tablespoon of cooking oil

3 tablespoons of Cincinnati Chili Seasoning (ground or left in flake form)

1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

1 tablespoon Cider Vinegar

1 ½ tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

1 can crushed tomatoes (28 oz.)

¾ cup of water or beer (the better the beer the more flavor, but don’t use a seasonal beer that will throw off the flavors)
