AUSTIN, Minn., Aug. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The makers of Hormel^® Chili, America's iconic No. 1 selling chili brand*, have set out in search of their fans' most creative Hormel^® Chili-inspired recipe ideas to be considered for placement in the first ever Hormel^® Chili Creations cookbook.

Hormel® Chili Brand on the Hunt for Fans’ Most Creative Chili Recipes

Chapters of the cookbook aim to inspire unique chili recipe creations using Hormel^® Chili in various apps and snacks, quick family meals, tailgate fan favorites and even campfire and grilling creations. Hormel^® Chili fans are asked to submit their own unique Hormel^® Chili-inspired recipe for a chance to be selected for the cookbook, which is publishing later this year.

"Only one third of our chili is enjoyed simply in a bowl," said Sarah Johnson, Hormel^®chili brand manager. "Hormel^® Chili is such a versatile product line with so many uses, so we are eager to see what our biggest fans can come up with."

Now, until 11:59 p.m. CDT on Aug. 29, unique recipes can be submitted at hormelchilicreations.com for a chance to be featured in the cookbook. The Hormel^® Chili brand team will be tasting, testing and selecting which lucky fans will get to take their recipe "out of the bowl" and into the first ever Hormel^® Chili Creations cookbook.

For every recipe submitted, Hormel Foods will be donating (up to $10,000) to Autism Speaks.
