tabasco = chilli
oh, also 2 tsps sugar and a few shakes of worcs sauce. some celery salt & a few drops of tabasco is good, too.
here's mine:

600g minced beef
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 carrots, finely grated
2 cloves garlic
2-3 large tins chopped tomatoes
3 tbsp Bisto
2 tbsp tomato paste
half a bottle rough-n-ready red wine
thyme & oregano & 2 bay leaves

Fry meat. Drain off fat on paper roll. Fry onion & garlic on medium heat in olive oil. Add carrots. Lower heat. Add tomato paste, wine, Bisto & chopped toms. Stir in herbs. When simmering, add meat. Turn heat to very low & simmer for 30-40 mins, adding water if too thick.
