Whos got a good award winning chilli recipe?

[rich8483]

we started a thing at church a few years ago to have an annual chilli cook off. last year i got second. this year i would really like to win but i think i need a new recipe. so who has some good chili recipes? this is a dutch church so unfortunately no one likes it hot.

the reason i want to win so bad this year is b/c i just had a goat butchered and have some ground goat that i want to use in the chili. (i tried some. the ground just tastes like beef. its the goat steaks that have a little different flavor) anyways. i would like to announce that the winning chili was made with goat meat.

i guess even if i dont win i could tell everyone that they were eating goat. and see how grossed out they get after the fact but i would really enjoy it if i won.

Don't know what the restrictions are, but I have a recipe that gets a lot of compliments. It might or might not be suitable for your competion.

2 pounds or just slightly more ground meat
1 sweet onion, chopped fine
2 ~16 ounce cans Ranch Style canned chili beans (Ranch brand name)
2 ~16 ounce cans whole peeled or chopped peeled canned tomatoes
Salt
Pepper
McCormic chili powder

Cook ground meat with chopped onion until just done, drain
Add meat to standard crockpot and turn to low
Puree Ranch Style canned chili beans in blender or food processor
Add pureed beans to crockpot
Puree canned tomatoes and add to crockpot

Season to taste. A good sprinkle of salt, a little pepper, and two to three tablespoons of chili powder for pretty mild chili.

Stir well

Cook on low for four hours. Check occasioanly and stir, adjusting seasoning if needed.

Serve with crackers and grated cheese. (and chopped onion if you like it)

Let me know if you try it with the goat. Sounds good. Goat sure does make the best BBQ there is.

I won a big chili competition back in Chicago last year - but my recipe will burn the face off of most people. When I'm looking for a recipe for something I don't already know how to cook I usually look for recipes by Bobby Flay or Alton Brown and throw my own twist on them.

i will try all the recipes i get before hand of course to see what i think.
there are no "restrictions" or rules really. just that the so called judges are the entire church and i know for a fact that they dont like hot. there is a ribbon given out for hottest chili at the end of the night but no prize money.

Shouldn't you be busy writing kick a** stories and not giving out recipes? Get back to work!!!

But seriously, pureeing the beans is a FANTASTIC idea...I've never thought about doing that before.

I'll give your recipe a try here in the near future.

I will second ranch style beans, great with chili. I play around with it each time. So don't really have a favorite.

I have one but it involves pork sausage and cilantro. Not your typical chili.

i guess i will post my recipe that i got second place with as some others might have interest in it

it is a mild sweet and very easy to make chili considering i got second place for it for my first year competing.

2 lbs. of ground beef
1/2 cup onion
4 cans tomato soup
3 cans of pork and beans
2 pkg. of chili seasoning
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 Tbsp brown sugar

Brown meat and onion: drain. Add soup, beans and seasoning mix, cinnamon and brown sugar. If you want it a little thinner, add some water but i never do. simmer until hot

Cumin is a key ingredient in chili.
