Chili Cookoff Recipe Needed! Help Us Win!

[ChefJWarren]

My school is having a Chili Cookoff. My coworkers and I want to enter, but don't have a chili recipe! Does someone have a great one - PC or not?

I've actually WON a chili cook-off with this recipe! I'm a vegatarian so it's a veggie chili recipe but trust me, no one will be able to tell. Everyone at the cook-off I was at thought it was meat chili.
Here's link to the veggie crumbles I used: http://www.seeveggiesdifferently.com/product_detail.aspx?family=366&id=324#

And here is the recipe I used:

Ingredients
1 package Morningstar Farms® Meal Starters™ Grillers® Recipe Crumbles™
1 can (16 oz.) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can black beans
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes
1 can (10 3/4 oz.) tomato puree
1 cup water
1 envelope (1.25 oz.) chili seasoning mix
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
fat-free sour cream (optional)
Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Sliced green onions (optional)
Shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese (optional)


Directions
1. In large saucepan combine Morningstar Farms® Meal StartersTM Grillers® Recipe CrumblesTM, kidney beans, black beans, undrained tomatoes, tomato puree, water, seasoning mix and crushed red pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. Ladle into serving bowls. Top with sour cream, cilantro, green onions or cheese, if desired.

My mom brought this over for Trick-or-Treat. We always have a little party with the grandparents. It's the Abs Diet Chili, and I absolutely love it. We topped with sour cream and cheddar cheese.

The PC White Chicken Chili is AMAZING....i am planningon making that for our church's chili cookoff later this year...

 

[Chef Kearns]

This is good and I got it from a customer at a show this month. I've made it for my family twice now and they LOVE it!

Taco Soup (but it's more like a chili)
2 lbs ground meat (I use turkey)
2 cans beans (I use Pinto)
2 cans Rotel
2 cans Hominy (I use both white and yellow)
2 pouches dry Ranch mix
2 pouches Taco seasoning

Brown the meat, then dump everything else in. Heat and serve. It is great right away. I've made it in the crockpot, too and it was fabulous then also. ENJOY!

So where exactly do you get groub meat?? HA HA HA.... sorry I am in a goofy mood today! LOL

 

[Chef Kearns]

You have to get that from a special little dealer in the 1000 acre woods. He wears a green hat and tassles on his shoes.

What's Rotel and Hominy? Never heard of either....

 

[chefann]

Rotel is peppers and tomatoes, canned. It's a name brand that's become a nickname, like Jello and Kleenex.
Hominy is a corn product, in which corn is processed to remove the outer husk of the kernel. (see here)

If you want a red chili I use a basic chili recipe
brown 1 1/2 pounds ground beef or stew meat, add 1 large onion diced cook until transparent
add 2 cans lg campbells tomato juice and a bottle of beer, simmer on med heat
add 3 cans of chili beans with a little water to rinse can to a blender and puree add to chili
season with chili powder and a little salt
cook all day on low or in a crockpot (the beer will cook out but leaves it with a very rich flavor)
