Recipe by Chocolatl

Adapted from the International Chili Society Official Chili Cookbook, 1981. This is an older recipe. The original contains 2 teaspoons monosodium glutamate. I have left this out, but you may use it if you wish. I recommend using reduced-salt bouillon and omitting or reducing the amount of salt.
