    Disaster averted! Maybe it's time to get a slow-cooker?

    Let us know how it comes out on Saturday!

    Holy shit, that could have been a disaster!

    So I made my chili last night, and had it simmering on the stove, stirring it every 15 minutes or so. The idea was to simmer it for at least a couple hours, take it off the heat, let it cool down, and then put it in the fridge until Saturday.

    Well, after two hours of it simmering away, I turned the heat all the way down to its lowest warm setting, figuring I'd let it lightly simmer another half hour or so. That was at 2 am.

    I just woke up at 7 am. The chili was still on the heat.

    So I dashed out to the kitchen in terror....and the chili was totally fine. I just took it off the heat, and it looks spectacular.

    But it's a good thing I had turned it down, because at the low setting it was simmering at originally, it was bubbling away, and five hours of that, I have no doubt that it would have been burned and ruined. Oh LORDY that could have been disastrous.

    Now I just need it to cool down enough before I leave work for me to safely put it in the fridge.

    My new favorite kitchen gadget: my new splatter screen, which has been on top of the pot the whole time, keeping the stove far cleaner than it normally would be during such an event.

    Okay, now I am going to go put my heart back in my chest, and try to resume my day.

    Sultry Devil? For that low, slow, easy burn...
    So far this one sounds like the best suggestion.

    That being said, if Ms. Paquin desires to bathe in a vat of Kool-Whip at any of my chili cookoffs (or any place that I am, ever), she is more than welcome to do so.

    If that should ever happen, PICTURES!!!!

    Four Coroners Chili

    (for your hot stuff)
    My hot chili already has a name: The Devil's Ass. That is a name that I will never top, and that needs no replacing.

    As for my regular chili, all the death and doom names don't really work, as this is NOT one of those chilis that require a standby fire extinguisher, three firemen, and a vat of Kool-Whip with Anna Paquin bathing in it. It's just a nice, smokey, somewhat (but not too) hot, sweet chili that KICKS ASS.

    That being said, if Ms. Paquin desires to bathe in a vat of Kool-Whip at any of my chili cookoffs (or any place that I am, ever), she is more than welcome to do so.

    If you ditched the pork loin and just used the beef, bacon and chorizo (which I think sounds like a good idea as imho the bacon and chorizo sufficiently represent all things porky) you could call it Trillizo Carne Chile (Triple Meat Chilli). IF, however, you substituted a different meat for the pork, such as, say LAMB, then you could call it Cuádruple Carne Chile (Quadruple Meat Chilli). Just such a change is something I would strongly encourage you to consider. In my mind, beef, lamb, bacon and chorizo would be the ideal meat mix for chilli. In fact, now I want to make a pot of just that.

    Other ideas of varying quality:
    Carnivore's Chilli
    Jester's Magical Meat Medley Chilli
    Meat-Lover's Chilli
    Chile Diablo del Sol
    Devil's Paradise Chilli (an homage to your home state and your current place of residence)

    Of all these name ideas, I have to say, Devil's Paradise is my personal fav.

    I rather like "Smokin' Desert Chili." It sounds like a serious chili that I would eat. Granted, I would probably die a little from eating it, but that's because I'm food intolerant.
    The ingredients you shared sound delicious too. Good luck with the chili competition!
