C. V. Woods World Championship Chili Con Carne

"Award winning chili recipe. I think I would kick it up a bit by adding chicken bouillon and a bouquet garni to the broth. Being a fan of cilantro, I would increase the amount considerably. Also, topping a serving with a small amount of cheese would be great."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am of Italian heritage and a native of New Orleans, so exceptional food is in the blood! We New Orleanians are very passionate about our food. Katrina is responsible for us relocating to San Antonio, Texas. We are caring for my elderly parents and needed a new business that did not take us out of the home fulltime. So, we started a catering business! It's going quite well so far.
