I’m entering a chili cook-off, so I needed to find the absolute BEST chili recipe. There are so many options out there—vegetarian, steak, ground beef, beanless—you name it! I narrowed it down to three recipes and put them to the test to figure out which one reigns supreme.
I set aside one Saturday and was a busy bee in the kitchen, busting out one pot of chili after another.
First up, we’ve got a classic chili recipe from my sister, Lolly’s Blue Ribbon Chili. It’s hearty and delicious, packed with ground beef, beans, and a rich tomato base.
Next up, we’ve got an alternative to the classic beef and tomato chili—creamy White Chicken Chili. It’s super tasty and has so much flavor!
Lastly, I made a smoked brisket chili. I’ve got an amazing recipe for smoked brisket, so I was more than happy to use some of it for this chili. This one’s another gem from my sister—Lolly’s Smoked Brisket Chili. It takes the classic beef and bean chili to a whole new level with bacon and brisket.
My husband and a few of his friends became the official testers on my search for the best chili recipe. I gave them a small serving of each type of chili and let them get to work. Hard job, I know.
After three different chilis, my pan had quite the workout that day. But which chili did they decide was the best chili recipe of the three?
It was really a close battle, but the smoked brisket chili came out on top.
If you try out these chili recipes, I would love to know which one is your favorite. Here are links to all three.
