They were competing for $25,000, you'd think they would use some real ingredients. Then again, none of the people they focused on even placed but judging by their winning recipes, most of the contestants are doing the same thing.

The reasons a lot of chili-cookoff people don't use real ingredients is, I'm told, a matter of consistency. If you just use powdered/dried ingredients processed under very controlled conditions, that gives you a better idea of what your end product will look like. And these people want to know EXACTLY what their chili will taste like before they even start cooking.

I don't know how true or false that is; it's plausible enough.

A little sweet corn in chili can be a great addition. Adds some color among other things.

As an added bonus, the chili looks the exact same way coming out as it did going in.
