They're pretty good Michelle.

Next time you have some chili in the fridge try it.

I like English muffins instead of hash browns. Easier to make.

Contrary to what people may think by what I post, I don't live in a diner.

I am inspired I am going to make chili for football on sunday thank you for your chili wisdom obeewan !!!

Chili this Sunday in my household for football. And I'm making homemade fries with it! Soo good a half tablespoon of chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper mixed with a few tablespoons of olive oil. Cut potatoes into fry shapes put in a gallon bag with oil mixture to coat fries then spread on a cooking sheet with foil and bake at 420(always) for about 30-45 mins. with some turning! Damn I'm hungry! Come on lunch time!

man that sounds awsome em

Sounds good Em.

Who's your football team. I'm sure its not the Rams is it?

go jets !!!!

Definitely some great football foods. Hot or sweet ribs,BBQ chili, chips, soda or your favorite beer. Lots of salty stuff.

Maybe you can grab your dad a bottle of small batch whiskey at the cook off tomorrow.

I'm warming up the chili. I mixed in some of the test batch to add some sweetness, and cut up the sausage so everyone can get a piece or two. I'm not totally happy with this batch. It tastes good, but there's nothing special about it, nothing outstanding. I don't feel as if I have much of a chance to win, but that's not really the point. The experience, talking to other chili cooks, hanging out with Em, tasting some great chili, maybe picking up a few tips, having on the forum talking about with the kind folks... Those are the things that matter. I won't be disappointed if I don't win.

It's not until 3:00, but the crock pot takes a while to warm up so I started it now.

Here's the directions Em. Go out 40 to Clarkson and head north, or take a right off the freeway. Its just a little before where Chesterfield parkway meets Clarkson, on the left. Looks to be in that shopping center.

Best of luck in the contest Bill. I'm sure your chili is fantastic! And I like the story about the "slingers". Sounds tasty.

Thanks Chester. Ill finish the recipe on the first page when I can.

Wow what an event! Lots of good chili and conversation.

I was disappointed in my batch, but its definitely holding its own.

I voted for someone who made basic chili like its supposed to be., nothing fancy. Results in a while. No real winner but one clear loser. White chili that was to bland, everyone said so.

Tons of fun and a good learning experience.
