FIRST PLACE CHILI

First Place Chili recipe is a great cold-weather meal. Made in one pot, it’s an easy weeknight dinner for your family with plenty of leftovers.
First Place Chili recipe is a great cold weather meal. Made in one pot, it's an easy weeknight dinner for your family with plenty of leftovers.

Over the years I have tried more chili recipes than I can count on both hands trying to find the perfect mix of flavors to suit the Hubs. I’ve tried countless homemade recipes and many mixes before altering this Chili recipe numerous times.

He wanted the chili thick but still ‘soupy’. He wanted spicy, but not too spicy. And, yes, to beans. And I finally figured out he doesn’t like the taste a masa even though he insisted that he did.

Don’t let the name, First Place Chili, fool you. I’ve never won a competition with it. This recipe has simply come in first place with Hubs after many, many attempts at perfecting chili.

First Place Chili

First Place Chili is spicy and hearty and can be made on the stove-top in just a few minutes. Make it early in the day and allow it to simmer for optimum flavor. It also makes a lot and is great for game day or entertaining. When I make it for my family of four I plan for leftovers such as chili dogs, nachos, and over tamales.
As well, First Place Chili can be made in a slow cooker. Break up the meats and cook on 1 one hour stirring and breaking up the meat 3 or 4 times during the hour. Next, simply add the remaining ingredients and simmer 4 hours on low.

    I love chili, Paula! I like that this one adds masa harina! Some of those words I know and use …. some of them I had never heard (nictitate and lily-livered?!) Ha. Who uses those words?
