Any desire to share the recipe?

It's been 20 years since I last made it, and it wasn't something I ever wrote down... But from memory:

Dice 1 white onion Dice 1 bell pepper Chop a few cloves of garlic Add a tablespoon of cumin seed Saute the onion, bell pepper cumin and garlic in bourbon until the onion is translucent (I have no idea if the bourbon helps at this point, but it was an excuse to take a shot) Add ground beef (the amount will depend on how much you're making and if you're adding beans, I usually did 1 pound) . Chop up a spicy pepper or two (type and amount depends on how spicy you want it, I usually did 2 habineros and a jalapeno) After browning the ground beef add 2 large cans of tomato sauce and a small can of tomato paste. If you want beans, add a can of two of kidney beans. Add in ground cumin, paprika, onion powder, graphic powder, cayenne powder. Drain beef grease Pour in a bottle or can of whatever beer you're going to drink with it . Simmer until the right consistency, stirring occasionally. Don't let your hunger rush this step. Serve with sliced peppers, onions and shredded cheese as offered toppings.

Really, I'm sure I'm missing something with this, and I have no idea how much of each spice I added... I'm pretty sure I never actually measured it. Cumin was a game changer when I found that... It adds a great flavor. The whole seeds at the start add some texture, while the ground added later helps punch up the flavor.

Thanks. Ill have to give this a try.
