Gravy granules! And cook it for ages. Even better eat it the next day. Mmm.

Get some Chipottle & Ancho Cillies in there, about 2 of each for a lively flavour boost!
Also maybe a pinch of oregano &/or fresh roasted Cumin.

Try one of these from the colonies:

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 can tomato juice (NOT V-8)
1 large can diced tomatoes
3 cans dark red kidney beans
chili powder
salt and pepper
Brown ground beef with salt and pepper and chopped onion; drain. Add tomato juice, tomatoes (go ahead and throw in the juice from these cans, too) and beans, with liquid. bring to simmer, then add chili powder until it turns a rich, reddish-brown color. Allow to simmer for a while longer, then taste. If it doesn't have enough kick for you, add more chili powder, or use what I use; A few splashes of habenero sauce. If all you can taste is the tomatoes, add a little more salt, or a few pinches of table sugar


3 lbs cubed top sirloin
2 medium onions, grated
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 10 ounce cans chicken broth
2 8 ounce cans tomato sauce
7 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Saute beef in skillet. Put it in large pot and simmer with onions, garlic and broth for 1-1/2 hrs. Add tomato sauce, chili powder and cumin.

Stir and let cook on low another hour and 15 minutes, adding water as needed. Beans are an option (kidney beans) canned O.K.
