  • 2 pounds extra lean ground beef
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • 1 quart water

  • 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • 0.5 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the beef and onion until the meat is no longer pink, breaking it into tiny pieces.
