Champion Chili
Yield: 1 gallon
We served this “Texas-Style, All Beef – No Bean” chili at last year’s Middlebury Chili Contest and took home the gold! The key to the chili’s success is the 45 minute simmer as it allows the flavors to mingle and develop. We recommend a high-quality, local ground beef as it is the star of the recipe. The yield on this recipe is 1 gallon making it a perfect recipe to feed a crowd especially on a cold winter weekend.
