The Chili Championships features 25 teams from across North America who will try to make the best traditional Texas style chili. Inspired by the range cowboys of the early 1800's, Texas style means it's made with only sauce and beef, rather than vegetables and seasonings.
Roast beef is used instead of hamburger meat because that's how cowboys did it in the old Wild West.
Those with stomachs of steel can sample championship chili by donation, with funds going to the Surrey Association for the Mentally Handicapped. Web Services . All rights reserved.
