Award winning Game Day Chili

I won the only chili cook-off I've ever entered. I have a trophy in my shop to prove it. It was only against 6 other people, but a dub is a dub.

This is how we do Chili in the Midwest so I don't want to hear anyone from Texas b-word about the beans or celery.

I just put it on.

Meat:

2 pounds ground beef

1 pound Italian sausage

4 strips of bacon

Beans:

2 cans chili beans

2 cans chili beans with chili sauce

Veggies:

2 cans diced tomatoes

1 can of mader paste

1 onion

4 staulks of celery (get some shit until someone tries it)

1 green and 1 red pepper

4 little chili peppers

Spices:

I don't really measure I cook it to taste and add spices along the cook

Generous pour of chili powder

Couple splashes of oregano

Some garlic powder

Little bit of cummin

Some basil

Some canyne pepper

Couple splashes of paprika

Little bit of basil

Some shakes of S&P

Half a can of Budweiser

Couple splashes of Tabasco

I stir every 15 mins or so then every half hour I taste and add spices appropriately. Usually let it simmer for 2-3 hours.

In my opinion Chili is the only thing a man should be cookin indoors.

Some garlic powder

I always wondered why do use people garlic powder and not fresh garlic? I mean you use fresh onions & chili peppers, why not a clove of garlic?

Apart from that it looks tasty. Might try celery if I have some leftover from another recipe.

Normally use fresh garlic, but I forgot to pick some up at the store.
