Thank you to everyone who entered the Red Gold Chili Recipe Contest. There were so many great recipes that I asked Autumn Reo to choose the winner. Autumn handles the PR for the the Town of Addison and has worked closely with local restaurants for the Taste Addison events, so she knows a thing or two about good food.

The winning recipe is La Diabla Chupa Chili by John in Dallas (pictured here soaking up some Cabo sun). John will receive a prize pack from Red Gold tomatoes featuring recipes, product samples, and other goodies! It’s hard not to love a recipe that involves beef, beer, and buds

This chili is easy to make and won’t break the budget. I had most of the ingredients in my cabinet and only spent about $20 for everything else. It’s very good and spicy so scale back on the peppers if you’re worried about the heat. Give it a try the next time you get the gang together.
