- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp chili seasoning
- 1 tbsp cumin ground
- 1 white onion diced, large
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup tomato paste (See Note 1)

- 1/2 cup green olives drained
- 1/4 cup capers drained

Instructions
- Over medium high, heat the oil in a dutch oven or large stock pot and add the ground beef, kosher salt, chili powder and cumin. Cook until no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes.
