This the recipe for my own ambush chili, that has won in many cook-offs, and is retired from competition. The new recipe is called Ambush-2 Chili and has been entered now, in some 12 cookoffs and has placed each time including 31st's! "Chili rule #1: Never use beans in chili! They are a side dish, not part of chili!" I believe this is from dandy Don Huston, down Floriday way... Reposted by Bud Cloyd -----
