Jason, this is shamelessly self serving, but I love Cookshack Chili Mix. We have customers who have won cook-offs with it. It's a simple recipe with meat, beans, green chilies, tomato juice, and water. Although it comes with a specific recipe, you can adjust it to your own taste and it will still be great.
(If you get a 5 lb. jar, and you don't use it all for your cook-off, you can put it in smaller decorative jars, with the recipe, and give it to people for Christmas. Except you will want to keep it.

with or without beans?
True chili cookoffs don't allow beans.

Hey Jason! Sorry I didn't know that when I saw you Tuesday night. I have an easy one that I gave to Bob and he won a homebuilders chili-off in Huntsville last winter. Call me. We are going to Corinth in the morning.
If you decide to go the Cookshack route, I could take some off your hands. Good luck.

I scaled this one back from the original which uses 50# of meat at Houston Rodeo Cookoff in Feb. Easy and a good chili recipe. The 2nd is a little more exotic.
CT's Chili
2 lbs. Course ground chili meat
1 lb. Hamburger meat
1 Large chopped onion
4 Cloves of minced garlic
4 Tbs. Chili powder
1 Tbs. Ground cumin
1 – 8 oz. Can tomato sauce
1 – 8 oz. Can tomato paste
2 cups Water (may not need all of water)
2 tsp. Brown sugar
2 tsp. Salt
1- 15 oz. (Optional) Can pinto beans
Cook beef in heavy pot until meat loses its color and most of the liquid has cooked away. (Do not brown). Drain excess fat.
Add onion to meat and cook until onion is soft. Stir in minced garlic, stir and cook briefly. Add chili powder and cumin, stirring to thoroughly coat meat. (This is when the meat really absorbs the spices rather than adding when liquid has been added.)
Add tomato sauce and tomato paste. Dissolve brown sugar in one cup of water and add to mixture. Simmer for approximately 1 hour to an hour and a half. If the chili thickens then you can add water as needed.
If you like you chili with beans, then add a 15 oz can that has been drained. You can add beans before serving. If you add them and cook with the chili they will break up an thicken the chili.
Really simple and there aren't a ton of ingredients to deal with.
Cookoff Chili
10 pounds lean beef Brisket, cubed
2 pounds ground Pork butt
4 medium onions, minced
¼ cup oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 7-ounce can whole green chilies, minced
1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
1 pound whole tomatoes, finely chopped
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1½ ounces Tequila
1 can beer
½ cup chili powder
2 beef bouillon cubes
Brown onions and beef in oil. Stir in garlic, pork, chilies, cumin, oregano, salt, dry mustard, tomato sauce, tomatoes, tequila, beer, chili powder and bouillon cubes. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer 2 to 3 hours. Stir occasionally.
Good Luck!

Hey I'm happy to see any award winning recipes...
Hey Damnifino
Are the quantities correct on the cookoff chili recipe? Looks like 12 pounds of meat to around a quart of liquid? Plus what liquid the tomatoes would yield(?).
Love that screen name BTW, took me a moment or two to figure it out

Florida Dave:
I've not made the "Cookoff Chili" yet as it is a recipe from a memeber of the team. The beef, tomatoes and onions will yield some liquid and water can be added if there is not enough liquid.
Glad you like the name. We have a lot of fun with it specially when someone asks "what is the name of your team."
