1 lb. lean ground beef (93% lean beef is best)
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
3/4 tsp. oregano
3 tbsp. chili powder
3/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. salt (optional)
1 1/2 cups water

Brown meat (breaking it apart) and onion until onion is tender. Drain and add the red pepper flakes and oregano; then run through a food processor for a finer texture.

Transfer to a saucepan and add the other spices and water. Simmer for an hour, stirring occasionally.

Can be frozen. Serve as a topping for hot dogs in buns.
