Chili Champ

For the second year in a row I have won the Cedar 8th ward Elders Quorum chili cook off.  I wasn't even going to enter a chili and had made rice instead.  I came upstairs to drop off the last of the sandwiches and found that there were only two entries to chose from.  I ran back down to the kitchen and put together the winning chili.  I don't know if it is cheating to enter brick house chili so I made some quick modifications. I had a couple of aged rib eyes set aside that I cut into chunks and quickly threw on the grill. I seasoned those with some Montreal steak seasoning and then doused them with some buffalo sauce.  I added some diced onions and mushrooms to the grill and sauteed them up then blended them with the rib eye.  I took a portion of our brick house chili and added my rib eye mixture to it.  I gave it a taste, shot a little more buffalo and then took it up. Apparently it was pretty good.  This year the prize wasn't a $25 gift cert to the Brick House but rather the theater.  That is cool.  I do want to say I voted for the other chili entries ahead of mine.  The one I had winning was from Morgan and I thought it was excellent.  This is a good event and I am happy to host it at the shop.
