I am hosting a chili cook off this Sunday. This my first one, I can't wait!
I figured I would keep the food light, since everyone will be sampling the chili the whole time. I am going to have a veggie tray with sour cream and onion dip, beer bread and artichoke dip from tastefully simple, chips and pretzels, and someone is bringing buffalo chicken dip. I will also have some tortilla chips out for eating with the chili along with little bowls of cheese, sour cream, and scallions. Is that enough food? The party is from 1-4 in the afternoon. I am expecting about 34 people, and 14 of those people have committed to bringing chili. I will have beer, wine, soda, and water also.
Is there anything else I should add to the menu? Any advice for a first time chili cook off host?
TIA!
Re: Chili cook off ideas
The menu sounds good to me! For my DH, cornbread must accompany his chili. Just a thought. Love the idea though. Sounds like a lot of fun. Enjoy.
