Think you’ve got the best chili recipe? Enter and find out at Heartland Recovery’s annual Chili Cook-Off at the Bethel Colony Fall Market, Saturday, September 28th.
Entries can be made with any kind of meat or a combination of meats and/or vegetables. Using beans is not required. Preference is not given to either cut meat, ground meat, shredded meat, or cubed meat. Seafood is allowed.
What to bring: You’ll find our tent at 127 North Main St., Bethel, MO 63434. The contestant will bring their chili, already prepared and heated in an electric pot that can keep food hot while serving. Heartland Recovery will provide cups, spoons, a table, and jars.
There is no entry fee. Winners in each category (Judged and People’s Choice) receive a trophy and $50 cash…plus bragging rights! Winners announced at 12:30pm.
There are two ways to win:
1) Judges will score entries on taste.
2) People’s choice award. Those sampling will vote into a jar in front of the chili they prefer; the chili receiving the most votes wins.
Proceeds benefit Heartland Recovery Programs, an outreach of CNS International Ministries, Inc.
Entry to the Bethel Fall Market is $2 for adults; free for children.
