Cook-off help

Hi Folks, New to sanctioned cook-off's and looking for a little help in the "Red" department. Our local cook-off (3rd year) has become CASI sanctioned this year. I Have not entered Red before
and after some web searching it appears that beans in "Red" chili is taboo? Do I just keep it simple with beef and tomatoe base with a few spices? Any input would appreciated. My "Green" (people choice 2 years running) rocks, but it doesnt seem to be as appreciated in the big TX cook-offs as the "Red". Is that right? I know I'm showing my rookie colors here so I would appreciate a little advice from you chili pro's. Thank:?:
 
howdy hillbilly chili from bubba's chili..i will try and help as much as possible. CASI or Texas style chili is meat and gravy only...got a quick question for ya...what is the meat cut for the cook off is it cooks choice or chili grind only.....answer that for me and ill post some more info for ya.....bubba out
 
Welcome Hillbilly Chili... the right man is on the job.
 
Thanks Bubba, I had not read anything regarding a chili grind or cooks choice. The High Country Chili Cookoff in Monument CO is on the CASI & Colorado Chili Pods website, but I didnt see the meat type specified in the rules. Do you think it would be cook's choice since not specified? Thanks for your help Bro!

lol, thanks. Just an fyi though, it's been cut, but I still like to keep the "mullet" nickname for old times sake.
 
;) Thanks Marco. I just ordered a few of your salsa's and am anxious to try them. I Love a good Salsa. I also make a Mango salsa, with crab too. I'm not usually one that appreciates fruit in salsa but my wife introduced me to the crab mango and it has become a huge hit as a side dish giveaway at the chili cookoffs. My vegi salsa took the blue ribbon at the El Paso county fair, it rocks! If I might brag.:)

Hillbilly Chili...Crab/Mango salsa sounds kind of good..I need to try to make it, and thanks..you wont be disappointed in the salsas. Fruit in salsa is very good IF you do not make it too sweet.
