I know that the Chili cook offs are huge. While I like chili, it hasn't bit me like the Q bug. Come December 1st, the locals in town are doing a chili cookoff as a benifit for the PTA. So I got to thinking....I got the 25 Habenaro peppers my sister sent me from sunny CA. Perhaps I should enter. There are cash prizes for 1, 2,3 but I doubt they will be large. They haven't posted them yet, guess they are waiting to see how many bowls they can sell!

Anyway, anyone got a chili recipee that is hot and beanless? (I heard that really chili doesn't have beans but can be cooked over gas :LOL: ) Red or green, they didn't specify. I do have a bunch of pulled pork in the freezer.
 
Well sure do admire your steering some bidness over to the Chili Forum..thats another one of my most favortie hangouts in addition to this place. But I dont think it a good plan to rebuff folks who come on here looking for recipes in the recipes wanted section. That just dont seem very neighborly. So save them Habs for some other noble purpose and cook up a pot like this. Suspect you be the grand prize winner.

Well I figgered you young whuppersnappers prob never heard of suet let alone know birds like to eat it too..I just sub it out for some Crisco. Ya know that suet was how McD's won all the awards for the best tasting fries in fast food land? Guv'ment finally nagged out em enough to make em stop...and that aint been too long ago. The stuff is delicious but tends to plug your arteries according to the current psudoscience which passes for medical science these days. My granny and grandpa used to eat hawg lard out of the bucket with a spoon and lived to a ripe old age. You see where I'm headed here?

BW, yours is tempting too. Suet? We call that bird food around these parts, so I'd have to go with the oil. :?
 
artery blocking cholesterol overload.

And darn good stuff.


I think my Dr. would have a heart attack if he saw this.
 
Remember that when doing a cookoff ... a good chili doesn't cause pain...but rather it's a nice myriad of flavors from the taste of the meat cooked in the right way (to flavorful tenderness being slowly simmered in a spicy gravy), and a nice blend of real freshly ground chile's... and that's it.

Granted comp chili is usually more kicked up and rather salty, but if you wanna give pain...save it for yourself and for your friends. :twisted:
