2 pounds ground beef, chuck or lean, your choice
3 cups finely chopped onion
6 cloves of garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and membranes removed, leave intact for more heat
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1 Tablespoon ground cumin
1 Tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground chipotle powder
1 can (28-ounces) crushed tomatoes
Kosher salt
Brown ground beef just until it is no longer pink. Drain most of fat, leave some for cooking in onion and garlic. Cook the onion, garlic and beef until the beef is very brown and the onions and garlic are translucent and beginning to brown. Add the spices and cook for a minute or so, or until very fragrant. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Simmer liquid is reduced, 15-20 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
