I make this (all the time but especially…) every year for our big fall gathering and now I just print out multiple copies of the recipe because so many people ask for it! So so good.

Boilermaker Chili recipe can be made in the IP. I’ve won several awards with this as my base recipe.

I like adding some homemade tomatillo sauce to the batches of chili that I make! I haven't reviewed Jeffrey's recipe but maybe even diced green chiles would add an interesting flavor point.

Just tweak his to make it how you want it
Or tweak any

I won a chili cookoff with a recipe I made up using pork butt as the protein. It was delicious and different. Not Instant Pot, but I bet you could experiment and come up with something.

@sickinthehead Oh, YES MA'AM! Pork butt makes amazing chili!

@sickinthehead thanks! Doesn’t have to be an IP recipe

I make chili without a recipe. Haven’t ever entered a contest but people like it. It’s a simple thing to make on the stove or crockpot. I don’t really see the reason to want to make it in an IP.

I church once using Wendy's chili recipe

I make great chili on the stove, I use 3 different kinds of canned beans, rinsed, for color. Lots of dark chili powder, a little cumin, half teaspoon cinnamon to begin with, and a little cocoa powder. Of course I begin with browning my onions and ground beef and ground venison if I have it with chopped celery and simmer with bayleaf in the stewed tomatoes. I add 8-10 cups of Tomato juice if it's too thick. Simmer this for 2 hours before adding your beans. Always better the next day. We do not add extra salt.

Smoked paprika is always a nice addition.

 

[eldian]

I use the dry chili mix from my grocery store… BUT I use ground beef AND stew meat (cut even smaller). Or ground pork and pork stew meat. Bushes has some great chili beans in sauce that I always add. I mean, depends where this competition is located whether you should add beans, but lots of meat seems best

 

[s4ndm4n]

I always add 90% chocolate, a cinnamon stick and fresh lime, adds some complexity to the flavour

The key to a great chili is the chili powder. Use a good one with a heat/spiciness level that you desire.

I thought his was blue ribbon!

@andytrichards it’s barely above a bronze medal to be honest.

I have a good chili recipe but it’s a vegan recipe- Sweet Potato Red Bean & Chipotle Peppers
