Do any of y’all have a simple: less than 8 simple ingredient chili recipe that makes really really good competition style chili?
I’ve tried some of the premixes you can buy a local H‑E‑B. Fiesta,McCormic,Generic,Fowler, plus I’ve made my own 10 different ways. The best one I made had several different types of chili powders in it. It was good enough but not great.
Part of the problem maybe I’m always cooking for a lot of people 12 plus, plus enough for leftovers. So I start with a lot of meat and usually use hamburger because chili grind isn’t always around here.
I’m open to a great premade mix and will find better meat to start. and maybe do a small batch
I can find champion recipes all over the place but I’m trying to avoid the ones with weird exotic ingredient lists a mile long.
I am sure if I searched I could find it on here somewhere .
Thanks.
Let me also add that Yoakum used to host the third largest chili cook off in the state. Land of Leather Festival. Behind Chilympiad and Chilispiel and I was almost always a judge in both local (anything goes chili) and the Competition Chili that had very strict rules that qualified winners to go on to bigger competition like Terlingua. Let me tell you there were people that took that stuff every bit as serious as the big bbq cookoffs. Lots of giant rvs and specialized cooking that went from event(festivals to event (festivals) garnering points for a grand championship at the end of the cooking season
I posted on other site asking also.
