Got myself volunteered to put on a chili cook-off here where I live. Of course I'm entering my recipe

recipe has 3 "dumps"

Gotta find Gebhard and Mexene Chili powders

Goya Sazon

I'll try El Tapatio in Little Elm

Ive seen recipes from several Terlinqua winners, all used Pendry's which led to all the rumors of under the table payoffs and guaranteeing winners winners before the cook offs

Looked on their website, they have some funky stuff alright.

Williams Chili seasoning mix. Follow the instructions on the package. If you want to win, add one small can of Wolf Brand Chili after it just about finished cooking. If you want to look professional, Pour the Williams into about 3 used spice bottles and add them at different times.

There is something about the taste of the Wolf Brand Chili that gets the attention of the judges. I called it the secret ingredient.

To thicken the chili, either add pinto bean flour, or some masa. Dried pinto beans can be ground into a fine flour using a blender. While on bean flour, it can also be partially substituted in recipes for wheat flour, sparingly.

Morton's Chili Seasoning mix can be substituted for the Williams if you want a darker red.
