This is a wonderful Cuban picadillo recipe with ground beef and chorizo sausage. I serve it in a bowl (like chili), on a roll, or over cornbread.

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • ½ pound chorizo sausage, chopped

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • ½ cup chopped red bell pepper

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 ½ cups canned diced tomatoes

  • ¾ cup beef stock

  • ½ cup raisins

  • ¼ cup chopped pimento-stuffed green olives

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained

  • ⅓ cup slivered almonds, toasted

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and sausage; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain some grease.
