Mine is much easier than that and doesn't even need a recipe:
Fry a large chopped onion and a couple of cloves of garlic in olive oil until soft.Add 500g mince and fry until brown.Add a tin of Watties mexican spiced tomatoes, a can of drained red kidney beans, 1/2 tsp of chilli powder and 1 tsp of cocoa.Bring to the boil, simmer for approx 20 minutes.Taste, adjust seasoning, enjoy.
You can add different flavourings but this is what works for us.The cocoa enriches and thickens the sauce.This is a "go to" recipe for me - we have it with rice, jacket potatoes, tortillas or corn chips.Tastes better the second day.
