2. After 1 1/2 hours - cook the beef with the 1/3 tablespoon of oregano (can be chopped steak or hamburger - your choice.). Drain when done and add to the base chili.

3. Let the chili cook for an additional 1/2 hour to 1 1/2 hours. The more time that the chili is cooking the thicker it becomes.

Serve and Enjoy.
