This year we hosted our first chili cook-off, or as my husband stated, “chili deathmatch.” To say the least it was a great time and I am thankful we didn’t blow a fuse with the number of slow-cookers in our kitchen. Mine did not come in first place, but it was close. Certainly nutrient-dense and darn tasty. Enjoy.
