Chili Cook Off

Who’s ready for chili? You know you are! Bring on the competition and tastings! When? March 16 after worship. If you would like to enter your finest chili for the contest please sign up below. Or, sign up here to help out and/or bring additional food and drinks!

This is a youth fundraiser. All proceeds help offset out of pocket cost for youth to attend the summer trips to Montreat and Massanetta. Donations will be accepted.

Chili Cook Off Guidelines

• Sign up to be a Chili Chef
• Make a big pot of chili for tasting (and of course for general consumption once the tasting is complete).
• If possible, bring your chili in a crock pot to stay warm or bring it already warm. There is limited space to heat your chili on-site. If you are going to 11:00 AM worship, you may bring your chili to Fellowship Hall to plug in.
• Please be in Fellowship Hall by 11:50 AM for set up so you are ready to serve by noon. Plan to stick around until the judging occurs (about 1:00 or 1:30 PM).
• Please bring your own supplies if possible, including potholders, trivets, ladle or serving spoon, and any specialized condiments or garnishes that your chili requires. We will have some supplies, but we may not have what you need.
• Be sure and label your belongings – crock pot, pot, ladle, or anything else you bring. (But most importantly label your crock pot and lid, especially if you will be attending worship.)
• There will be 2 lines – 1 line of contestant chili and 1 line for general serving. The general serving line will have chili, corn chips, pasta, grated cheese, chopped onions, sour cream, hot sauce, salad, cornbread, butter, dessert and drinks.
• Each chili chef will be given a number and accompanying labeled tasting cups. Everyone who attends will be given a ballot to use to vote for their favorite chili.
