Kenyan-inspired Ground Beef Curry/BBQ

Saute until browned:

• Wad of sliced onions (I like onions, so roughly 1-3 large onions, I like red onions)
• Bunch of ground beef (1-1.5 lbs)
• Hot peppers (optional, jalapenos are okay but thick-skinned, consider serrano), a bunch

Add:

• Curry powder (I like curry, roughly 2-4 tsp)
• Crushed garlic (sometimes I saute this with the beef and onions, 5-10 cloves)
• Grated ginger root (2-3 tbsp; freezing peeled ginger and using a microplane makes this easier)
• Sliced/chopped/diced tomatoes (I usually use a can of crushed, roasted tomatoes)

After that's all mixed in:

• Some cinnamon (not much)
• Chopped cilantro (if desired)
• Some water
• Some salt
• Anything else you think might be good; cumin, cardamom, clove, sage, nutmeg--this recipe is easily tunable to various mixes of sweet/spicy/savory, and mixing them all up in one is fun.

Let it all simmer for 15-30 minutes, depending on squishy you like your onions, how blended you want the flavors and how hungry you are.

I'll often add some coarsely-chopping onions (and peppers) towards the end of the simmering process for some additional crunch and zest.
