Cook Off

The anticipation of the flavors excited us on the 3rd floor today at work as we had a Chili Cook-Off! Being full is an understatement because of course I had to sample each and everyone.

We had a variety of crockpots and nescos full of 6 unique recipes!
Now my problem is that I have a piece of marble cheese cake staring at me at my desk...oh the temptations-thanks Jess.

So back to the main course...none of the chili recipes were normal as they each had something new or different in it, for example corn. Who puts corn in chili? However this include a chicken, green chili and stewed tomoto combo that called me back for more. Of course more ingredients to complete this recipe, which I am going to be collecting from my fellow co-workers. Other interesting ingredients were spaghetti noodles, coffee, many spices and beer? hmm, the variety though made for interesting sensations to my tongue.

Now I know we are not heading into chili weather, but the comfort food sure hit the spot today! If you have any secret ingredient or tips for the BEST chili, send them on over.
Again, relishing in the idea of 5 ingredients or less..I put that challenge out to you for a chili recipe. Please share..as I would like to try them.
