For The Beef
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 Yellow Onion
- 1 kg Ground Beef
- 1/2 teaspoon Chilli Pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 162 degrees Celsius.
- For the beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and onions. Cook until starting to soften, then add the ground beef. Cook the meat until it's totally browned, then drain the fat. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper and stir to combine. Add 1/2 cup hot water and stir. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
