Well I didn’t win the chili cook-off. I wasn’t too hurt by it as I know that politics had a lot to do with it. But my pot was bigger then most and it was mostly gone when we went home that night so I think that many enjoyed it.
I also feel that its time to share the chili with the world here is my recipe.
