Station 4 Johnsonville Cajun Chili – a delicious recipe created by real firemen.

Johnsonville Firehouse Challenge

A couple of years ago I was invited to attend the Johnsvonville Firehouse Challenge in Birmingham, Alabama.  How could I say no?  After all, firemen – the everyday heroes who put their lives on the line to protect all of us – know their way around the kitchen and are notorious for making incredibly delicious food.  This was an occasion that I did not want to miss.

Firemen are great cooks!

The cookoff was between two Birmingham fire stations and each dish included a Johnsonville sausage product.  The public was invited to attend the event and to cast their vote for the dish that he/she liked the best.

Making Cajun Chili

There was plenty for everyone to enjoy.  (Should I confess to having more than one bowl of my favorite?)

It’s unfortunate if you weren’t able to make it to the cookoff.  However, the kind folks at Johnsonville have permitted me to share with you the recipe for Cajun Chili.   (For more delicious recipes featuring Johnsonville products, click here.)

The competition was tough – both dishes were delicious.  But in the end, Station #4 won with their Johnsonville Cajun Chili.  (And yes, that was my favorite, too!) 

And the winner is...Johnsonville Cajun Chili

Johnsonville donated $5,000 to the Birmingham Fire Department to show support and appreciation for their hard work in the community.

***Post update – when I make this at home, I add about 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth to the chili when I add the packet of chili seasoning.  Here is what it looks like when I make it at home:
