This recipe took first place for the No Sweat Best Mild at the Annual ECP Chili Cook Off. This event was the first cook off I ever cooked in. The 13th Annual The Heat Is On On May 14th, 2011 was held in the new facility called Creekside place in downtown Evansville, Wisconsin. I am entering again this year with the same recipe. Here's hoping my notes are accurate but I would not count on that being the truth. Cooked in the 12th Annual The Heat Is On on March 10th, 2012. Lost! But the chili in the Nesco was very good. Will be serving at the farmers markets this summer. Ingredients:
