 We noted last month that Brockton resident Jarrid Barros, a cook in the Food Services Department at Brockton Hospital, won a recent Chili Cook-Off among hospital cooks in the region. Since that time, we have been able to convince him to share his recipe. Below, you'll find the secrets that helped him win the "Chili Pot Trophy" for his "Chili of Champions," named in honor of Brockton, City of Champions.

The Chili of Champions

INGREDIENTS

1.1 lb ground beef (85% lean if possible, any will do)

4 ounces tomato paste

1 ounce sauvignon blanc white wine
1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon sugar
A pinch ground cumin
? teaspoon fresh cilantro finely chopped
? teaspoon fresh parsley finely chopped
A pinch garlic powder
