Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add onion and cook until soft – about 10 minutes.  Add garlic and spices and cook briefly.  Add meat and cook, breaking into small pieces, until no longer pink.  Add remaining ingredients (except rolls) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened – about 20 minutes.  Serve over fresh Kaiser rolls.
