Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1.25 cups water
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 pound ground beef
• 0.25 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon ground thyme
• 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.

Step 2

Transfer the cooked beef to a blender and blend until the meat is finely minced. Bring the minced beef, water, vinegar, paprika, black pepper, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, allspice, cloves, cumin, thyme, and cinnamon to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat; cook for at least 30 minutes, adding water as needed to keep the mixture moist and gravy-like.
