Young, home cook Jeff wanted to show what he can do in the kitchen with an old family tradition of Christmas chili. Sorry to say, but this entry is going to have to settle for a lower rung on the prestigious family hierarchy of chili. Something was just off with the meat. Not sure if it was in the crock too long as it really broke down to a consistency like you would find in a chili dog restaurant. The flavor of the meat was not great either. The cook also lacked in any other flavor and spice unfortunately, hence the jug of chili powder and others by the crock to add yourself. Was he nervous for the big guest list attending and just had an off day? Will have to give him another shot down the road with an upcoming chili cook off in the works. On the plus side there wasn’t a lot of bean/veg.
