Disnee Dad Says.........................................You need to ask tinkymom the secret to good chili, she has entered only two chili cookoffs, and came in second in one and won the other one!!
Pork, yes. Corn, no.
Any meat can make a great chili!
Go for flavor, not heat. Gasoline is useless unless you have an engine to put it in to. Same with chili, if you don't have a great "engine", gas will only try to cover a weak engine and it won't work.
Hot is easy, spicey is much harder.
BTW, Beer can add a great flavor to chili if you add a dark flavor, but a little Jack Daniels will work everytime!
