Chili Con Carne...Source: Jim Mixson

3 # ground beef (lean)
52 oz kidney beans
3 cans (12 oz.) tomato sauce
1 T garlic powder
1 T MSG (optional)
1 T Black pepper
1 T JGM mix...This is my concoction; see Recipe
2 C chopped onion
4 oz green chili's
4 T chili powder
1 t liquid smoke
1/2 C dry mushrooms (or 1 4 oz can)
4 bay leaves

Fully brown the ground beef until crumbly.  Saute the onions in butter.  
While doing this, place all remaining ingredients in large pot and bring 
to bubble boil (don't overheat and let it stick).  If the beef had a bit 
of fat, drain it off.  Add beef and onion to pot with remaining ingredients 
and allow to simmer, the longer the better.  
It gets better with reheats.
