Very large group of friends went camping to Garner SP here in Texas and we had a chili cook-off on Fri.
Around 12 entries, all home made, I made Jeff’s brisket chili, I smoked a chuck roast before hand and double all ingredients.
I won first place, most everyone raved about it, I talked to some of the judges, seems it was unique to any of the other chili’s, but very hot/spicy. I thought this was odd because I did not add any hot peppers, only reg. rotel and mild hot sauce. But I did double the recipe which added 6 Tbls of chili powder, and when I tasted it, it seemed like too much chili powder.
Anyway, it was disqualified because the rules stated that all chili must be made on site, no pre-marinated or pre-cooked meat could be used. Oh well, it was some good chili.
One person complained that it tasted too much like BBQ, that "chili should not taste like BBQ", sorry, I had to slap her.
Next year I will bring the pit with me and start smoking at 12:01.
Just wanted to give some props to Jeff……….great chili!!
