On Saturday, I was honored to be part of a team competing in the 23rd Annual American Cancer Society Chili Cook-Off in Mobile, Alabama. What an amazing cause to cook for! We had a great time cooking all morning and fellowshipping with old friends and making new friends. The team that I got to join used my Cream Cheese Chicken Chili Recipe and we had people coming back for seconds, thirds, and even fourths! Tons of people kept coming by and telling us that they had heard that they needed to come try our chili because it was the best! How cool is that?! We even ran out of 18 gallons of chili by 1pm and we only started serving around 11am! We had such a great time! Our team placed in the top 20 but didn't win when it came down to it, but it was such an honor to be in the top 20 that winning didn't seem to matter! I had to increase my recipe by 18 because my normal recipe yields about 1 gallon of chili...that meant we had 36 chicken breasts in there! Crazy huh? Below are some fun pictures from the day.
Above is the pot after we added all the veggies but before the chicken and cream cheese
Lots and lots of cream cheese went into this!
This is after the cream cheese had started to melt :)
Looking delicious! Cream cheese was almost melted!
It was such a hit that we completely ran out!
