We hosted our 4th Annual Chili Cook Off a few weeks ago. We usually have it on Halloween but since we were in
Edinburgh this year, we had to reschedule. The weekend before Super Bowl seemed like a perfect time.
We worked on new ballots this year to make the voting less complicated.
Mr. Click devised this system and it seemed to work well. We're always tweaking the system and trying to make it the most fair voting system it can be.
The house was all set up and ready for our guests. It's a relatively easy party to throw because your guests help supply the food. I made corn bread muffins and had the rest of the fixings ready to go (cheese, chips, sour cream). I also served a few snacks and made brownies for dessert.
The tasting and voting begins!
Our 2019 winners!! Woo hoo! After voting, we enjoyed more chili (of course!) and played a few hours of Quiplash. Our stomachs hurt from laughing so much.
I had fun decorating the 'trophies' this year with some Dollar Tree pom poms (the wooden spoons are from DT too). It's all in good fun and it was another successful cook off! We had some really creative chilis to pick from: pizza chili (with pepperoni and mozzarella cheese), blackened mesquite chicken and sausage chili, barbecue chicken chili, traditional beef chili and three vegetarian entries as well.

You guys know how to have some serious fun! I just love chili so this would be such a fun taste testing adventure and makes for such a great night!
Heather Lou, you do the most fun things and parties! I love the measuring spook idea. How clever. My man loves chili and likes it spicy. I love the spice too but have to be careful with it. I just adore the pictures. How much fun! Hugs and blessings to you dear friend.
