We are having a chili and soup cook-off at the High School I work at on one of our in service days. I need the FDB's ideas and suggestions on both.

There's plenty out there, and I'm sure you'll get plenty of recipes posted.
My few pieces of advice:
1. Don't use ground beef
2. Refrain from beans although since you work at a high school, you're probably surrounded by idiot women who think beans are supposed to be in chili.
3. Use fresh peppers.
4. Season at each step.

But really, ground beef in a chili is for white trash.

Well if it's a chili cook off, most of them actually don't allow beans

You can make your own powder out of fresh peppers. Takes some time but not all that technical.
And what's the problem with "inconsistent heat"?

Just a guess that cubed meat might be preferred there, but it wouldn't be over here.

-Ground Beef
-Ground Pork
-Fresh Cajun Sausage (out of the casing)
-Fresh Jalapenos and Serranos diced (5 of each depending on pot size, leave seeds in a few for heat)
-Chili Powder
-Ground Cumin
-Bell Pepper
-Yellow Onion
-Red Onion
-Garlic Minced
-Cajun Power Garlic Sauce
-1 pack McCormick Chili Mix
-1/2 Dark Beer
-1 Tomato Diced
-Tomato Sauce
-Cajun Seasoning
-Salt & Pepper
-Hershey Bar
-Water or Stock for liquid depending on consistency you want
I'll let you figure out portions of ingredients. Dont know how big of a pot youre making. Garnish with chopped white onion, sharp cheddar, cilantro and sour cream.

this is the biggest change I made to making my chili and it really helps the end product when you layer the flavors.
also add something sweet like molasses or brown sugar .. and adding beer never hurt. i'm a big fan of smoked meats in chili.

You want to go in and buy the Pickle Barrel? $250,000 and it's ours. I'll quit my job and run it. Let me know and I'll swing by and pick up a check.

Is beer allowed, being that it's in conjunction with a high school? If so, use a dark beer for the liquid (I like to use Turbo Dog or Shiner Bock).

not the person who originally wrote it but i've seen a few shows on chili competitions, where the competitors said using fresh peppers wasn't done....their logic was that the level of heat can vary too much from pepper to pepper, producing inconsistent results in their chili. thus, they said the competition people prefered using powder...i'm sure the serious folks make their own power. but the comments on the shows seemed to suggest that few used fresh peppers.
for home chili makers, minor inconsistencies probably aren't that big a deal; but for competition folks, i'm sure it matters to them quite a bit.

That reminds me of my part time job at Bulldog Liquor while in college at Moo State in Stark Vegas. On payday, I'd write the boss man an "even up" check to settle my tab, after credit for my earned wages that week. We'd have the same problem, Mr Balls.
