When Adam came home and told me they were having a chili cook-off for Halloween I told him I wanted to make some. I was going to make my normal chili recipe until he told me the prize for the winner was a dutch oven, I have been dreaming of a dutch oven so I had to up it a knotch.
I asked the girls on Whats Cooking and the ideas suprised me, but in the end I tried it and they really did make it AMAZING!
Although we didn’t get 1st place in the cook-off, we got second place. Next year I will be first!!!! I will gladly take any ranking though!

- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 lg. can tomato sauce
- 1 lg. can cushed tomatoes

Was there a prize for second place?! and WELL DONE on your entry!
(I like a little cumin in my chili – give that a go!)
There was a prize for 2nd place, it was a little card for buy one get one for 12 months at a local resturant.
Second place is still fantastic! Given the responses, I bet if you added beer you would have taken first!
Congratulations on second place!
