Wow. Lots of input for my first chili cookoff. Any other suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

This one is in Mobile, being put on by the USA Med school students. Its a gumbo/chili cookoff, and for a good cause so anyone in the area should come out.

Here is the Link

I don't like kidney beans in chili, but I love black beans.

Here's a tip for you. Add a Hershey's chocolate bar to your recipe...I call it "redneck mole". It's a good twist.

Had heard of the chocolate trick and was thinking it might be a good idea.

It is. For texture, I make a little corn meal (or you could use corn flour)slurry with some water or stock to tighten up the dish.I don't care for a chili that is too thin.

Would NEVER add milk chocolate. Maybe, Hersey's Special Dark.

WOuld you puree them for texture, or to hide them? Seems half say no beans and half say beans.

Crap I hardly like to have much meat at all in my chili, all beans for me. Don't strike a match...
