This video shows you the 2-time National Champion Red Chili recipe. This recipe was created by Margaret Nadeau and won the CASI Terilingua International Chili championship in 2005 & 2009.

She calls it Sahara Chili

To make:

STEP 1:
2 lbs. Course ground beef (chili grand)
1 TBS Cooking oil
1 TBS Granulated onion

Add ingredients together and lightly brown meat

STEP 2
Add:
1 can (8oz) Tomato Sauce
1can Beef Broth – I used 15oz
Cook for 30 minutes

STEP 3
Add:
1 TBS Light Chili Powder
2 TBS Dark Chili Powder
1 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 TBS Cumin
1/2 tsp Cayenne
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Chicken Granules or 1 cube

Cook for 1 hour

Step 4:
Add:
1 TBS Light Chili Powder
1 TBS Dark Chili Powder
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 TBS Cumin

Add water if needed – I didn’t – Perhaps using 8 oz of beef instead and using water at the end here will cut not on the saltiness.

Leave covered and simmer for 30 minutes.

– Hi, Jason Ganahl, GQue BBQ. It’s snowing outside, but that’s O.K. because I’ve got something that’s going to warm you up. Margaret Nadeau’s Red Sahara Chili recipe. She won the national championship in 2005, and then she went ahead and won it again in 2009. Both times beating entries from over 500 qualifying contests.

If you’re into red chili, this is not something that you’re not going to want to miss. – I’ve been watching this chili cook all afternoon, and now I can finally taste it. Excellent red chili. It’s got great depth, lots of flavors going on, which is really surprising because we didn’t put a whole lot of ingredients inside of it, but that’s what happens when you allow

Something to cook for several hours. Everything comes together really nicely and balances itself out. I do think it’s a little bit too salty for my personal preference; however, it’s still better than 90 percent of the red chilies I’ve ever had, and I use to be a chili judge

When I lived in Saint Louis a long time ago. Excellent, excellent chili. This chili, along with all the other national championship chilies… The recipes are posted on the C-A-S-I website. I’m going to put that link down below. If you like what I’m doing here, please give me a thumbs up.

  1. Just made this chilli you are absolutely right it's a bit too salty but I will make it again and not add the ½ tsp of salt and see if that fixes it
    Thanks for the recipe other than being too salty it was great 👍

  2. Do people not use beans in their Chile in these competitions? It looks like it’s just meat and spices

  3. I’m in a club called Tech Noir. It’s on Pico.
    I know it. Stay there. Have some chili. We’ll send a car right over.

  4. This is my go-to recipe for chili now. Holy cow, it's good. My mom likes it, but it's a little too spicy for her. What adjustments would you make that would cut down on spiciness but still retain good flavor?

  5. I think it was way too salty for my family but would make it again minus the extra salt to see if it makes a difference in the saltiness from all the other seasoning.

  6. For all I know, this is a great chili recipe… but if you're not saying what you're putting in there I have no way of knowing The Recipe … I'm standing at my stove with my back to my computer sorry I have to watch this I'll find somebody else it's chili …

  7. Whats the difference between Light Chili Powder and Dark Chili Powder? Is it a blend (specific) or is it a different chili used?

  8. I have been making this for several years. It is quite spicy, so I have to make separate chili for wife. I love it, and making today.

  9. I just started making this and can not figure out how on earth this would turn out with the amount of liquid it calls for. After the hour cooking all of my liquid would have been gone. I ended up adding more tomato sauce and kidney beans.

  10. If we cook it on Friday and then warm and serve on Saturday, do you think it will hold up? It’s a school competition, so nothing too big, but we still want it to hold up!

  11. Can I add beans to it? And if so when can I put beans in? After the first 30 minutes or before the last 30 minutes so I don't burn them?

  12. We called this all my life Po chili. No 💰 chili. Served over jiffy cornbread.😂 We been eating red 🌶️. We eat it now because we like it. Funny AF.
    FYI chicken and sausage gumbo is called Pobo…no seafood.

  13. Hey man, why don't you dump or strain off the grease? I had the most flavorful chili in a cookoff yesterday and was told by 2 of the judges that the oils floating on top took me out of any final judging. They said if that was gone I would have taken at least 2nd place..

  14. I like this variation… Although.. I have to have finely chopped onions..I add them in three parts to no lose flavor. Soy sauce substitute salt…is how I prefer and last..brown sugar a small fist full…add on smoked Chipotle from Winco.. No regrets!!!!

  15. Second time making this chilli today. I didn’t add the salt the first time and it came out perfect, can’t wait to make it again!

  16. I’ve been making this chili for years now. The music in this video is still cringe. Great chili though.
