In a kettle cook the onion and bell pepper until

another minute. In a large skillet brown the meat over
high heat and transfer when done to the kettle. Add
chili powder and cumin and cook the mixture, stirring,
for about a minute. Add tomatoes, broth, bay leaf,
cayenne, Tabasco, oregano, salt and pepper and bring
to a boil. Lower heat and allow to simmer slowly for
2 hours. Or, put chili into slow cooker for several
hours. Stir in the chocolate and cinnamon and adjust
seasonings. Place bowls of each of the above
accompaniments on the table so diners can prepare
their own Haystacks. A layer of Fritos is placed on
the plate or bowl first; then some chili, and
whichever accompaniments appeal to the diner. May be
topped with sour cream. From: Mary Riemerman
