CG, thanks for asking. We came in 2nd and we had a lot of fun for a good cause.
It was last Friday. My staff ended up using several recipes (including these, so thanks guys!) and pulling off items they liked to create their own recipe. Then I had to make it. I wanted to rename the chili to "$100 chili" after buying the ingredients! It was to raise money for charity, though, so I guess it was okay.
Our name and theme? Are you ready for it? It's really bad....are you sure you're ready? Okay, we called it....
"FREE GAS Chili...the chili may cost $5, but today, the gas is on us!"
We went with a gas station theme. We even had a car and a gas pump.

I told you it was bad.
The recipe for one pot (it was pretty good):
1/2 lb. thick sliced bacon
1/2 lb. ground pork
1/2 lb. ground sirloin
1.5 lb. beef brisket
1 large onion
4-5 cloves garlic
1 lb. fresh tomatoes
Peppers to taste: pasillo, habanero, & serrano
1 can pinto beans
1 can red beans
1 can green chiles
1 can tomato sauce
1 T cumin
1 t salt
1 t oregano
1 T dry mustard
2 T chili powder
1 t beef bullion granules (1 cube)
2 t hot sauce (I used Trinidad Charlie!)
1 T cornmeal
1/2 can tomato paste
8 oz. mexican beer
1 oz. tequila
Juice of 1 lime
