WISCONSIN BLUE RIBBON CHILI



Wisconsin Blue Ribbon Chili image

This chili earned its blue ribbon at a chili cook-off three years in a row! It is a mild, sweet chili, but it could always be spiced up with a little hot sauce. In Wisconsin, chili has macaroni noodles in it, which my husband thinks is the best part of this recipe. Enjoy! Add canned kidney beans with the macaroni, if desired.

  • Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers before blending them will enhance their flavor and sweetness. You can roast them in the oven, on the grill, or in a skillet.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your hot sauce the best flavor. If you can, use organic peppers and other vegetables.
  • Experiment with different flavors: There are many different ways to flavor hot sauce. You can add garlic, onion, ginger, herbs, spices, or even fruit.
  • Let the sauce age: Letting the hot sauce age will allow the flavors to develop and mellow. You can age it for a few days or even a few weeks.
  • Store the sauce properly: Hot sauce can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months. You can also store it in the refrigerator for up to a year.
