25 lbs. coarsely gound beef
 1/2 lb. comino (I assume this is cumin)
 1/4 lb. chili powder
 1/8 lb. paprika
 2 handfuls of crushed dried red chili peppers
 1/2 lb. finely chopped garlic
  
 Put this all in a big pot with water to cover, closed tight.  Cook 15
 minutes on high before stirring.  Then stir and simmer 30-40 minutes. 
 "Prison cooks never add water, although they 'correct the seasoning to
 desired strength' in the final 30 minutes of simmering and put in 2
 handfuls of monosodium glutamate 'for the desired taste balance.'"
