Can you enter 2 recipes per week, or 2 recipes throughout the whole contest?

I’m a little confused on how winners are picked each week- is that based on the quality and deliciousness of the recipe? Or randomly selected? Sorry if I’m being dense and just missed that in the description. It sounds really fun, I’m excited!

Thanks for putting in so much effort to create this!

I have a question. Do you have to feature the product that is sponsoring or just what the theme is?

“Come join the fun at the My Baking Addiction and GoodLife Eats Holiday Recipe Exchange sponsored by Le Creuset.” This chili recipe is a quick and easy one pot meal that can be changed up with a bit of creativity!

Under one hour chili:
Using a large pot such as a French Oven
Brown: 2 lbs. of hanburger
Add: 3 cans of kidney beans (or 3 beans of choice)
Add: 3 cans of “off brand” tomato soup (the Campbell’s brand seems to be to acitity with this recipe)
Add: 1 8oz. can of tomato sauce
Add: 1-3 cups of water (depending upon desired consistancy)
Heat and simmer about 10 minutes.
Mix in a small bowl: 4 tbls. of flour, 6 tbls of McCormick chili powder along with 1 tbls. of salt
Add: flour/chili powder mixture to simmering chili, mixing well to incorporate.
Cook: 30-40 minutes

*Be creative with this recipe and add chicken instead of hamburger, black beans, and corn for a southwest theme topped with sour cream and shredded cheese. This is a basic chili that is a great base to any one pot meal.

I was looking for the winners and noticed the last winner chosen on your winner page was Oct 18, is there a different place to see the winners?

Thx for the contests.
