Lucky number 13~

Yesterday’s church chili cookoff was fun!  I think it’s the most chili entries I’ve ever seen. My first year at this church I think there were only about six. 

@boatingaccident had been excited about the opportunity to win Spiciest Chili since I talked about entering, but my concern was more with making a tasty chili, not a spicy one. After all, I’ll have to eat the leftovers!
Won Spiciest Chili anyway 🤣
Maybe it was the 1/4 c chipotle adobo, or the close to 1 c roasted mixed hot peppers 🤔 
They had no idea how much hotter it could have been 🤣 

My mother in law won Best Chicken Chili, as well. As winners, we got our pick of towels as prizes and I found this set with a sweet embroidered stag 🦌 

This is the first chili I’ve made in years. It was delicious.  Making chili with stew beef is a revelation to someone like me who hates the texture of ground meat. I’m really looking forward to eating the leftovers (with some added beans) and my leftover sourdough 🤤 glad to have just a little left over of both cumin seed and bacon pepper jack loaves!
