Why Can Opener Chili Will Make You Question Other Chili Recipes

I shared my 5 Easy Steps to Hosting a Chili Cook-off and now I want to share with you my recipe for chili.

I use to call it to cheat chili but let's face it, it is more than that so I am now calling it Can Opener Chili. I open a lot of cans to make this but please know it is made with love.  Ha!  Just kidding.  I hate to chop.  I barely tolerate cooking which is why I like to blog about the recipes I find.  They are easy and I did a good job.

I have been making this for years and I am always looking to improve upon it, for instance, I started adding corn two years ago and last year I started adding Rotel because it is awesome and I hate roasting hot peppers.  And then there was the time that Baby Girl decided to improve on my recipe by adding a banana to the pot.

I finished the chili and while it was simmering I ran upstairs for whatever reason.  She found me and told me that she was helping me cook.

For the last six years, I have helped organize a chili cook-off in my office.  It is always around Valentine's Day and the proceeds go to charity. 

This is my pet project every year.  The first year that I suggested it we had no idea if it would work but eight people brought in chili and it has grown every year.
