Chili cook off
Dec 18, 2021 15:15:31 #
Today my local watering hole is sponsoring a chili cook off.
I’ve made the same recipie for 25 years and I’ve taken 2nd in a Sauza tequila cook off and placed several other times.
Not a tomato juice kinda thing , although I do add a small can of tomato sauce to redden it up.
Secret is smoked sirloin steak and a Hershey bar at the end.
The chocolate adds a lot of depth of flavor and leaves you wondering “ what is that taste?”
It’s got a hint of heat but not in your face. More an after your done, you notice a kick.
Lots of good cooks bringing their creations . Should be very interesting.
More satisfying than winning a $13 trophy is folk asking for my recipie and once had a guy pay me to make a pot for a football party
Even more satisfying is bringing home an empty pot.
I caught a little girl scraping the last drop one time. I helped her get the last of it.
Will be a fun day.

So is that recipe "top secret" Ben or will you share it with us? Sounds great.

Good luck Ben!
About 10 years ago, a local bar had a chili contest and one of the regulars went to Wendy’s and ordered about $75 worth of their chili, dumped it into a crockpot and entered it as his own. He figured he had a winner. It didn’t even place! 😂
He had the balls to call Wendy’s and complained to the Manager 😂

That's not 'balls', that's just plain idiocy ! That's pretty low, cheating
at a chili cook-off ! Sounds like the kind of guy who would call up
Playboy or Penthouse magazine and complain that they caused his
'Carpel-Tunnel Syndrome' !

I love this stuff: carne adovada. Made with New Mexico Chiles. Anyone wants my recipe, just holler. I make it with pork (because of the ridiculous price of beef), but it's good with any meat you want to put in it. If you know where to get some goat? Awesome.
