Crock Pot Confusion, Chili Cook-Off's and Star's Left Coast Chili Last week, Sam's in C-Ville decided to have a Chili Cook-Off to raise money for their pet Charity the 's Miracle Network. The winner gets a $25. gift certificate. "Hey!" I thought to myself. This is a good time to introduce these Virginia Blue bloods to Star's Famous Left Coast Chili. So I purchased a 6.5 qt. Rival Crock-Pot® which I discovered is awesome because it has an automatic timer which goes to warm after it's cooked. the blend of nine beans soaked overnight barley pearls, black beans ,red beans, pinto beans, navy beans Great Northern beans,lentils,split peas,black-eyed peas I added Ground Chuck, Frozen Onions, Diced Tomatoes and Low Sodium Tomato Soup with generous amounts of Chili, All Spice and Cumin and blended it with the beans. I Sprayed the Crock Pot with Olive Oil and tossed everything in the Crock Pot. I timed it for ten hours on slow cook. In the morning it was ready to go. When I got to work, I loaded the crock pot on a flat bed and took it into the store. So later on, there was several pots of Chili. I tried what I thought was my Chili and it was the "Bland meeting the Bland Chili!' "How Humiliating!" I thought to myself. "I don't want to admit to making this Chili." I realized that that Chili had ingredients that I did NOT use in my Chili. I noticed an second 6.5 qt. Rival Crock-Pot® also purchased at the company store. It was my famous "Left Coast Chili" and a great improvement for the "Bland Meeting the Bland Chili." I have to laugh because the the Bland Chili won the $25 dollar gift certificate. Some of the local Blue Bloods in management can't deal with Left Coast Heat. I needed a new crock pot regardless. Still, my chili sold the quickest and made the most money for the Cause. There is more than one way to be a winner. Life on life's terms.  Abracadabra  |
