I figure what ever path you choose you will end up with a fine chili dinner!
Which is your favorite? You've made the Sucklebusters before and it looked great...
I've got a big old pot in the fridge right now- going to a friendly small competition tomorrow. Those are good chili spices you got going there (thought Gebhard's was unavailable now) but I still make some of my own from dried chilies and boil and pulverize some too. Plus always grind cumin seeds after a light roast
Unfortunately, here in NO-HIO most tastes have been perverted by the nasty azz Cincinnati style slop and whoever can emulate that will probably win. Yuk.
I'm sorry. I just would make my own from scratch.
You don't need packets of anything when you have the brethren.
Cheers!

And I have the Mexene, Gebharts, Cumin etc to blend my own. Of all the things in the culinary world that are pre packaged processed etc, I think Chili seasonings do a damn fine job.
Use some of each. That way when it is good you'll never be able to duplicate it.
Don't ask me how I know... :tsk:
The Sucklebusters is so good that my horrid cook of a younger brother made some for a family get together and I actually saw my mother TRY and CONTINUE to eat the chili dish that he brought.
If that's not a endorsement I don't know what is. Because in the 35 years he's been on this planet THAT is the only time that has happened.:heh::heh:
Good luck with your comp. If your stores quit carrying Gephardts it's on Amazon
Most of the players are in the lineup. Not pictured are garlic, green chile, Hungarian paprika. seared sirloin in a strip of bacon seasoned with Saltgrass and Coopers. Removed and Ninja'd the steak into less than burger. And added to burger. I'm drinking Guiness and bride is wanting Fritos for a Frito pie.
