Contestant Information and Rules:
1. Anything goes! Red chili, white chili, chili with no beans: whatever you think is best! Your chili may consist of any kind of meat, pepper, pre-cooked or canned tomatoes, various spices, and other ingredients, such as any variety of beans.
2. Each contestant may enter only one batch of chili. There will be a 1st, 2nd, and People’s Choice.
3. Each contestant will be assigned a contestant number by the scorekeeper.
4. Each contestant will be responsible for turning in his or her crockpot to the judging area by 11:00 AM.
5. All ingredients must be pre-cooked and ready-to-eat.
6. Spoons and cups for use in serving chili to the guests will be provided. Condiments will also be provided.
Judges will vote for the chili they like best based on only five major considerations:
Color – Chili should look appetizing.
Aroma – Chili should smell good. This also indicates what is in store when you taste it.
Consistency – Chili must have a good ratio between sauce and meat. It should not be too dry, watery, grainy, lumpy, or greasy.
Taste - Taste, above all else, is the most important factor. The taste should consist of the combination of the meat, spices, etc. with no particular ingredient being dominated.
Aftertaste - The aftertaste or “bite” is the heat created by the various types of spices and or peppers.
