When the church announced a Chili Cook-off I joked that I should enter my chili, made with McCormick seasoning which Darla got me started on, knowing the cooks of the church would use a lengthy list of ingredients and fancy recipes. One of my cook friends said I should, our secret.
Everyone had their chili in a crockpot ... until someone plugged in their InstaPot and blew a fuse. There were 13 chilis to sample. This was the set-up before church ...
This was Andy during church - watching a golf tournament on his phone and listening via bluetooth through his hearing aids.
Because the power was out for a while, some chilis ended up lukewarm. Ours, fortunately, was hot because I heated it before we went to church and turned it on when we got to church. Maybe not everyone did that?
Some were soupy, others were thick.
I did like one of the chicken chilis. I had asked how much chili we were expected to make and the organizer said to make what I usually do. I usually make it with one pound of ground beef so that small, red crockpot is mine. Everyone else made a bigger batch lol.
The votes were tallied and the winner had 12 votes.
We were contestant No. 7 and realized if we both used our two votes on our chili, we would have tied the winner. Lesson learned. Proof, I think, that the McCormick seasoning is tasty. I did come home with an empty crockpot, but I didn't make a big batch.
