Backdoor Chili

David Valega

1990 24th Annual

 World's Championship

Carroll Shelby wasn't feeling too good but he stayed until David Valega was announced as the new World's Champion. The Arizona State Champs, Rocky & Mary Renfrow, were second; Cathy Wilkey, the North West Regional Champ, was third; Steve Porter, the Wyoming Champ, fourth; and Tom Williams, the Mile High Regional Champ, was fifth.

Chili competition has now become as competitive as the Olympics (some say more). Dick Sykes and the Condor Squadron bombed the "Officers Club." Ernie and Tova Borgnine headed this years list of celeb's with Don Dolin, Brad Lockerman, Jim Storm, Jeff Tractra, Michael Fox, Barry Corbin, Stan Campbell, Bobbi Eakes, Lori Calhoun, Rory Calhoun, Mary Cadarette and Joanne Dru.

(Part 1)
3 pounds Beef Chuck Tender
1-2 tablespoons Wesson Oil
2 14½ oz. Cans of Beef Broth
1 8-oz can of Hunts Tomato Sauce
4 dashes of Tabasco Pepper Sauce
1½ tablespoons onion powder
3/4 teaspoon red pepper (Cayenne)
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
(Part 2)
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1½ tablespoons cumin
3/4 teaspoon white pepper
6 tablespoon Gebhardt Chili Powder

Instructions:

Brown meat in WESSON Vegetable Oil. Cover with 2-14½ oz. cans of beef broth. Stir in all the savory flavors of the HUNTS Tomato Sauce and TABASCO Pepper Sauce and all the other ingredients of Part 1. Medium boil until the meat is tender, add water as needed.
30 minutes before youre going to serve your guests (or turn in your bowl for judging), add the ingredients of part 2 and simmer to achieve Worlds Championship Chili. As a precaution, make sure you have plenty of soothing PEPTO-BISMOL on hand.

Grab a couple of chilled cans or bottles of Budweiser, and get ready to hear the praises.....try to be modest.
