Chili Cook-Off Champ for February

Rachel, The Crispy Cook, won the chili cook-off this month for her Blasphemous Baked Bean Chili. Congratulations, Rachel, your chili was voted the best. Please send me your snail mail so I can send you your prizes: a copy of my new cookbook, Foods and Flavors of San Antonio, and a chile pepper refrigerator magnet. In the meantime, here's your winner's badge which you can proudly display on your blog.

I think all the chili recipes that were submitted are winners and they're all going into a new chili cookbook I'm writing. Thanks, everyone, for your chili recipes.

We do the Chili Cook-Off Challenge every month. The month-long blog birthday party for my new cookbook starts tomorrow, so for the chili cook-off in March, we're changing the rules a bit. Any recipe, original or not, can be submitted to the March Fiesta of Foods and Flavors Chili Cook-Off Challenge.

If you've posted a chili on your blog--months, or even years, ago--it's okay to submit it for this month's special chili cook-off. Let me know that you'll be participating in a comment. Mention the chili cook-off in a current post, include the badge and a link to this site, then email me at gloriachadwick@gmail.com with links to your chili recipe and your current post. The prize for the best chili in March is a San Antonio chile pepper refrigerator magnet.
