This week we had to prepare for our chili cook-off. Our task was to search for a chili recipe to make in class and have judges come in to taste our chili. At first, we had some troubles finding a recipe because we were unsure of what time of chili we wanted to make. Also, we had to consider the amount of time it takes to make the recipe since we only had a day to make it and then the next day to heat it up again. We then found a recipe that called for an hour making time which was perfect. The ingredients included ground beef, tomato sauce, garlic, beans, and spices included chili powder, cayenne, oregano, and cumin. When we first started to make our chili, it turned out spicier than we intended. To balance out the chili, we added a bit of brown sugar which made it sweet. At the end, it balanced out with the spice and our chili was a combination of sweet and spicy. The judges liked our final product and so did we. Something I think we could do differently is to add a bit less sugar. Our final product turned out better than I expected at the beginning.
