Notes: With this recipe, Naomi won the 1st Place Ribbon at the Westend Volunteer Fire & Rescue Chili Cook-off in DeBorgia, Montana in Fall of 2023 and the 2nd Place Ribbon at The Hideout Chili Cook-off in DeBorgia, Montana in Fall of 2024. She served it with homemade cornbread waffles (Mickey Mouse-shaped) just for added fun. This recipe has been adapted for use with the freshest ingredients... family-raised beef, hunted big game, locally-raised hog, along with garlic, onion, and tomatoes straight from the garden.
