COMMENT:
Glen Dickey of Arlington, Texas, walked away with the trophy in
1997 from the International Chili Competition with this recipe.
His secret -- the use of the first and second seasoning technique.

METHOD:
Brown meat in a heavy pot and drain off fat. Simmer meat in beef
broth and tomato sauce for 40 minutes. Combine first set of seasonings,
stir into meat and cook over medium heat until meat is tender. Total
