1 pkg bear creek's "darn good chili" starter
1/2 to 1 lb lean groun beef
1 large onion diced
1 can(s) tomato sauce (8 oz)
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp old bay seasoning
4 tsp ground cumin
2 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 pinch cinnamon
1 can(s) black beans (15 oz)
1 can(s) petite diced tomatoes (15 oz and i prefer red pack brand with sweet onion in them)

Steps:

1. Follow preparation directions and simmer time on Bear Creek package (adding the 8 oz can of tomato sauce instead of tomato paste as the package calls for).
2. While that is simmering, brown ground beef with diced onion and drain fat.
3. Once both chili starter package and browned ground beef are ready combine together.
4. Add all of the spices, the brown sugar, can of black beans and can of petite diced tomatoes. Stir well to incorporate everything into chili.
5. Add pinch of cinnamon (you only need a teeny amount because it will over-power the chili), so be careful!
6. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes if desired, otherwise it's READY to eat!
