Directions
Melt the suet or heat the oil in a heavy 3 inch (or larger) pot.
Remove the unrendered suet and add the meat to the pot.
Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is evenly browned.
Add the tomato sauce, beer, ground chile, garlic, onion, oregano, paprika, 1 teaspoon of the cumin, and the salt.
Stir to blend.
Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour.
Stir occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasonings, adding the cayenne pepper.
Simmer, uncovered, 1 hour longer.
Stir in the cheese and the remaining ½ teaspoon of the cumin.
Simmer ½ hour longer, stirring often to keep the cheese from burning.
