There's no denying our love for Carla Hall. Between her lively energy and Top Chef-worthy cooking, she's a true gem. What would the food world be without her iconic "Hootie Hoo!" catchphrase and delicious soul food?
So when the time came to search for a quality chili recipe that would pack some serious flavor, I immediately turned to Carla. Her recipe, cleverly dubbed "chili con Carla," looked like the perfect recipe to steal the competition. It uses quality cuts of meat, smoky dried peppers, and cooks things low and slow to develop some serious flavor. As someone who competed on Top Chef, owned both a restaurant and catering company, and wrote a successful cookbook, I knew Carla's version had to be good.
But could her chili beat out recipes from Ina Garten, Ree Drummond, and Guy Fieri? I made it myself to find out.
