In a 3-qt. saucepot, lightly brown the ground beef until crumbly. Drain and return to pot. Add the diced onions; cook and stir under moderate heat for a few minutes until the onions look translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the cumin seed, oregano, bay leaf. Continue cooking on medium-low for another minute.
Now add the undrained tomatoes, crushing them with a spoon, the beans, tomato paste, water, chili powder, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce and seasoned salt.
Bring to a boil, lower heat to a simmer and cook for at least 30 to 60 minutes (the more the better),stirring occasionally.
Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Makes 4 (1 cup) servings
Note: I like to cook it the day before. Cool, cover and refrigerate to allow the flavors to blend. Reheat and enjoy the next day.
