Do not overly "brown" the meat: cook thoroughly. Add ALL other ingredients and stir to fully incorporate. Bring to low boil for three minutes. Turn heat down to medium simmer and cook for 1 hour skimming any fat that rises to surface. Stir frequently. Serve hot in earthen bowls topped with shredded cheddar, Monterey jack, and fresh salsa.
