    2011 CenterPoint Energy Cookoff (UPDATED with QVIEW)

    Its really a fairly easy recipe. No big huge secrets on this one. One trick, tho, is that I use three different kinds of meat 1) 1/2# 80/20 ground beef, 2) 1/2# ground pork, 3) 1# chuck, done on a chili grind. Makes for a wonderfully varied texture in the final product.
