I have made this recipe several times before but never in a cook off but I just started culinary school and we are having a chili cook off in a couple months and I know this chili would win but they go by ICA rules so there cannot be any beans…I know I know chili should have beans. What would everyone recommend to keep the flavor and consistency without the beans? I was thinking of using the juices from the can but not the beans but I am sure there are better ideas out there. Would be awesome for this recipe to win a culinary school cook off.

Had a “Chili Cook Off” today and had 36 entries. Judges (I cry foul) scored me 2nd. Over 100 people at it and took “People’s Choice” by a land-slide. Only think I added was cup of strong black coffee.

Ok, this chili rocks! I used Premio hot sausage patties instead of Bob Evans and cut all the ingredients in half and it came out awesome! I definitely recommend it.

@stscards1 It’s hit and miss – depends on how much yo make. If you follow this recipe all the ingredients are listed. The chili, cumin, and cayenn are to taste

This chili didn’t taste good at all. I did follow the recipe as per the directions. I didn’t win anything and not recommended. It had a very smoky taste.

I WON!!! Was named Chili Master this weekend at a Chili Cookoff with this recipe (with one added spice). There were 40 entries – and I was named Chili Master over all! Only difference is – I added “Slap your Momma” spice to the marinade. It was incredible! Thanks Jeremy (and Jeremy’s dad) – Great Recipe!!!

Wanted to let you know I just won TWO (Most Original & Fan Favorite) of 5 categories at my workplace cook-off using YOUR recipe, slightly modified. There were 14 entries, and we have probably 400+ employees, so I am thrilled & wanted to say THANK YOU for sharing! Changes were: used a red bell instead of a green (greens taste metallic to me); Used one 14 oz can crushed toms, & one can of the new Hunts fire-roasted diced (very tasty, lent to smokey flavor, with bits of charred toms). No Brooks chili beans here, so used Bush’s, also no Bob Evans, so used local grocers spicy sausage roll. Additions were ~1/4 tsp cinnamon, ~1/8 c. sugar, more spice & heat after initial (as you recommended) & did a drop-biscuit style Jiffy cornbread crust on top. (one box Jiffy cornbread mix, one egg, a little milk, mix to a sticky consistency, then drop spoonfuls onto chili during the last hour of cooking). Magnifique! Thanks again for sharing!
