Brown meat, rinse and drain; return to dutch oven.

Add diced onion, diced zucchini and sprinkle beef bouillon granules over meat and saute until tender.

In blender: (I dont like "chunky" chili)

Then add water and tomato sauce, baking soda and stevia and simmer for 20-30 minutes until zucchini is tender.
