C. V. Woods World Championship Chili Con Carne image

Award winning chili recipe. I think I would kick it up a bit by adding chicken bouillon and a bouquet garni to the broth. Being a fan of cilantro, I would increase the amount considerably. Also, topping a serving with a small amount of cheese would be great.
