Make sure you use some canned tomatoes!. I prefer both diced and stewed!. I also use several different cans of beans at the same time!. Black beans, kidneys and pintos!.

If you are going to use the oven method then preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C)!.
Chop up the onions and garlic in the food processor and fry in some olive oil until softened!. Add the chilli powder and cumin and a little seasoning!.
Chop up the meat in the processor and add to the pan, cooking it until slightly browned!.
