Congratulations to "BIG" BILL WENTZ of Virginia Beach, VA! His BIG BILL'S WIN OR LOSE CHILI racked up the high score in the Just A Pinch Sporty Snack Showdown Contest.

"Everyone is a WINNER when they sit down with a bowl of Big Bill's "Win or Lose" Chili!!!" laughs Bill. "Topped with a mountain of extra sharp grated cheddar and sliced jalapeno....mmmmmmm. This is one "Bowl Game" where every fan is a WINNER!"

Big Bill wins an ULTIMATE HOME THEATER PACKAGE just in time for the Super Bowl!! That's a $4,000 value! (Hmmm, looks like someone is going to be VERY popular come game day…)


Thanks to all of you who took to the playing field and entered your recipes. Double high fives go out to our stellar Runners-Up:

CINFULLY GOOD CHILI - Cynthia Creamer-Pirtle of Lufkin, TX
"Growing up an army brat with family scattered from Texas to Michigan to Florida and Georgia, I was introduced to a wide variety of foods from all over. My yankee family made blande chili that seemed more tomatoes than anything. It was good but something was missing. My Texas cousins made it so hot you couldn't taste it. The Floridians put curry in it, and well, that just aint right. I don't think the clan in Georgia made any. I began a mission for the perfect blend of these dishes and by the time I was thirty I was pretty well known for my Chili. I sure hope ya'll like it!!"

WHITE CHICKEN CHILI - Shauna Evans of Provo, UT
"I love savory soups, stews, and chili--especially when the weather turns cold. This is a savory chili packed with flavor and a little kick. This is the perfect comfort food and game day recipe. A one bowl dish that satisfies hungry football fans."

MY TRIPLE COOK-OFF WINNING CHILI - Kelly Roberts of Forked River, NJ
"I used to love to participate in chili cook-offs, [they are] sooo much fun! (I've actually won 4, but this is the recipe that won 3 years in a row.) More than happy to share! Enjoy!! :D"

I just had to check this out because I was born and raised in the Va Beach area and live in the Southwest desert now. I'd just about sell my soul for some Smithfield ham and blue crabs! Congratulations!

Congratulations Bill, I am going to try your chili next time as well. I make chili different ways to see what we like best, and my husband loves the idea of the jalapenos and cheese on top. He likes his pretty spicy and that's how I usually make it anyway.
