I went with "The Winning Chili" and took 2nd place.

When the big boss came downstairs to present the awards it was like a surreal Abbott and Costello bit.

Actually then "The Almost Winning Chili" is what you should have gone with for the name.

[QuikR12]

2nd place is the first loser, but in a chili cookoff, i'm not sure there is ever a 'winner'

[grrrr]

Not bad.

I was going to go with "Ralph".

Congrats... I want some.

[That was Pontus]

Too late but my totally lame, corny suggestion where folks laugh only to humour you because it's not actually that funny would have been "Not So Chilli."

Thanks. We're gonna try to make it work. Money is tight for travel this spring because we had a contractor screw us on the house.

So we might take you up on that basement.

Hey Shred,
I know you don't care for my conservative politics, but i've offered to help you with your house a couple of times.
The offer still stands.
I remodeled a kitchen, for the speech coach for the democratic national committee.
I can and do seperate politics from bis.
I'd head over to the movie in Alexandria but I gota do the family stuff friday, cuz i'm leaving for JH this weekend.
Send me a pm if you can use some help.

"Pig farts" would have gotten you out of the pits much quicker and into first.

How about "Somethings not Kosher"

[Sirshredalot]

Thanks for all the friendly suggestions, and skiballs, I actually am not a political person, but I'll drop you a line if and when we have our money back from this scumbag and we can resume work.

Here is the recipe. The guy who beat me is a giant douchenozzle, so I am going to go over the official scoring to figure out how to take him down next year.

2 tbs veggie cooking oil
2 medium onions, chopped fine
1 medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into 0.5 inch cubes
6 medium garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tbs ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 pounds 85% (85% is important!) lean ground beef
2 15 oz cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 28 oz can diced tomatos
1 28 oz can pureed tomatos
1/2 tsp salt
1 package bacon
2 limes, cut into wedges (as garnish)


The directions called for doing it in a dutch oven. They also said not to use the entire package of bacon. Pussies. I modified it for a crock pot.

Brown the bacon up in a large skillet. Dump the excess grease and set the bacon aside. Then start browning the beef, with all the spices (except the salt), and the onions, in the bacony large skillet. It may take two loads. Dump everything else in the crock pot (not the lime garnish, you jackass). Dump meat, onion, and spice contents in the crock pot, too. Let it bubble away for a sufficiently long crockpot time (such as overnight).

This isn't a super spicy recipe. It has some nice meaty flavor, with just enough heat at the end. We dry out a bunch of hot peppers from our garden every year, and we used those in place of the red pepper flakes. And we had a particularly spicy batch this year, from our unbearably hot summer. So you might want to be generous with the cayenne and chili powder if you like it hot. I thought it was spicy enough, but I don't think I would have wanted it any less spicy.

This recipe is adapted from the America's Test Kitchen New Best Recipe Cookbook. It is my favorite cookbook and I recommend it highly.

Also, the farts from this chili were A+ quality. Beans, meat and bacon, yes!

[Tippster]

Wonder what it tastes like /o the beans... not a huge fan of bean chili.

Can't make it on Friday either - my wife's company holiday party. One of these days, mang.

[Art Shirk]

Now that you posted the recipe, you are likely gonna get some suggestions. And here's your first

I would nix the black bean and go with kidney beans. Some dark and some light. And leave a bit of the juice in the mix.

[Sirshredalot]

Hey, I'm open to suggestions. The dude who beat me is a massive tool who spends pretty much all his time on chili cookoff competitions - much like i do on skiing - except his obsession is sad. And he's a prick about it to other people in the office. So I am certainly one of the few people who have the hope of crushing him next year, and making the office more pleasant for a little bit. All suggestions are welcome.
