chili cookoff
Spicy stew contest
A chili cookoff is a competition where participants prepare their best chili recipes to be judged against one another.
These events range from casual neighborhood gatherings to sanctioned contests with strict rules about ingredients and preparation.
Cookoffs often feature categories like traditional red chili, chili verde, or anything-goes varieties: Our church hosts an annual chili cookoff every fall.
