CHILI COOK OFF
 

Okay, it's that time of year again. For the past three years I've been hosting a chili cookoff where everyone brings their best chili. We put each recipe into a separate numbered container and put it out for tasting. Then we all turn into judges and vote for the best recipe, whilst sipping an adult beverage.

Do any of you have a super secret Award winning recipe that you'd care to share?

I won't share my award winning chili recipe but I will tell you anyone who uses ground meat of any kind in chili needs to be castrated or spayed...

Why? Do you use meat in it at all? What about Beef tips? Or do you just make it with beans?

I like to make mine without beans. I use several different types of chilis tho, and no it's not blazing hot. I just wish I had written down everything I used.:o :D

ground turkey breast... mmhmm can't have chili with any other kind of meat. :shhh:

Re: CHILI COOK OFF
 

turkey? :gagging::D

Mmmm Chili.:)

WTH is wrong with ground beef?!:(:rant::D

I'm CP. I use ground beef and I'm proud.

Re: CHILI COOK OFF
 

ground turkey breast
1. It tastes much better
2. It's easier
3. It's cleaner, nothing to drain after cooking it
4. It's what I use
5. It has never tried to kill me before like ground beef has

Side note: It is to be eaten solely by saltine crackers, no spoons allowed.

1 can of store brand chile
plastic bowl
there you go

Re: CHILI COOK OFF
 

Some ground beef, chili mix, different types of tomato stuff, beens and the most important part all: The crock pot for 8+ hours.

Anything can taste good if it sits in a crock long enough.

I like PIKE Chili in April. It's whats for dinner!


Serious note: Pheasant Chili = GREAT!

Re: CHILI COOK OFF
 

The original Chili did not have beans and the early Spanish/Mexicans did not have meat grinders.

Beef/pork/goat/lamb pieces, onions, garlic (just a little), a variety of chilis from mild to hot, tomatoes and tomatillo, spices, tequila, aloe, cactus and a few secret things...

x2 on the ground turkey! :) Much better tasting.... :)

When is your chili cook-off?

Re: CHILI COOK OFF
 

It's tomorrow and we weren't invited!!!:rant: ;)

Re: CHILI COOK OFF
 

I used several different kinds of meat. Tips, sausage links, coarsly ground sausage, brats, chicken, pork roast cubed.

Chili powder, tomato paste, tomato sauce, onions, garlic and bay leaves.

No beans.

A jar of "Mole' " sauce cooked separately and seasoned to taste (that's a secret I will only share with my best friends).

Add the Sauce and stew for about 2 hours. Serve with homemade tortillas, (another secret I will only share with my best friends).

What the hell is wrong with putting it in a bowl and tossing some shredded chedder on it and eating it with a spoon?:popcorn:

My Tia Juanita would roll over in her grave if I did. :twak: :p ;)

Re: CHILI COOK OFF
 

Chipolte Chiles (dried).
Not too many. There powerful.
They give it a smoky flavor.

Google: Chugwater Chili

Thanks for showing up CP! At least someone's got my back.

Re: CHILI COOK OFF
 

Umm, I think you just shared it with EVERYONE! Oh, wait, I see the PM!;) :D

I only use meat too. I don't like the beans in it, but RYD scared me in his first post and I backed off. It won't happen again....:jump:

Re: CHILI COOK OFF
 

MMMM. Smokey flavor sounds interesting.
