Ryan won 3rd place in the ward chili cook-off last night. My nephew Ethan has a killer chili recipe. He made it for us when he last visited and it was so good I thought Ryan ought to enter it in the contest. Ryan didn't realize he even won. He was too busy shooting hoops on the other side of the gym. Typical ward activity. He was pretty excited and his prize was an embroidered apron.I decided to interview Ethan about his cooking success and see if he would be willing to share any secrets.
How long have you been cooking? Two Months
How did you come up with this special recipe? I just made it up.
Is there a secret ingredient? No. I just threw in some new ingredients.
Has this chili ever won a contest before? No, but I made it for my whole school for Halloween and everybody liked it.
What is your favorite thing to make? Eggs
So you can see it doesn't take much to be a contest winning cook. Just throw in a bunch of ingredients and try your luck. And if you have a secret ingredient don't even hint that you have one.
This is my nephews killer chili recipe which I was given permission to share. Ryan dubbed it:
"Little Smokie Chili"
1 1/2 lb. ground beef, browned
1 onion, mincedsalt & pepper
1 can chili beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can sloppy joe sauce
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can mixed vegetables (we used just a mixture of peas and carrots), drained
bag of little smokies, cut in half
Bring to a boil and simmer. TASTY
Ethan, thanks for sharing. We can't wait to see what you've cooked up next for us.
