Jimbo's Killer Chili

A radio station in Detroit (WXYZ, I think) had award winning recipes it was discussing on the air for listeners. I contacted them, and they sent me a chili recipe. This was about 20 years ago. Since then, the recipe has been modified to our own family's tastes, and passed around. The amount of meat was reduced from 5 pounds to 3-3 1/2 pounds. Some of the smaller spice amounts were doubled and so on. At this point in time, this very spicy concoction (not for the faint of heartburn) is known as "Jimbo's Killer Chili"!
