"MAKING A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE'S LIFE WITH EVERY POT OF CHILI COOKED"
The Original Host of the Terlingua Chili Championship
Is Chili Good for You?
Chili’s namesake ingredient—chili peppers—is what adds a flavorful kick to the dish. And the evidence suggests they may provide some significant health benefits. Researchers have found that capsaicin—the component that gives chili peppers their heat—has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cancer, and blood-glucose regulating effects. Several studies suggest that chili peppers may also help control appetite and give your metabolism a little boost. As a result, it may help with weight loss. The best way to harness these effects is to add the spice to your food.
About the CASI Organization
Our CASI members and friends raise funds for charities throughout the year by competing in sanctioned CASI chili cookoffs.
Each year, CASI sanctions nearly 400 domestic and international chili cookoffs as qualifying events for the CASI Terlingua International Chili Championship©, known as TICC. CASI was the original organizer of the first chili championship in Terlingua in 1967. These sanctioned events raise approximately $1,000,000 annually for the local and national charities that work with the cookoff organizers. This ultimate chili championship is held the first Saturday of November annually at Rancho CASI de los Chisos near Terlingua, Texas. The CASI Championship event is a fundraiser for local Terlingua charities and organizations and funds CASI's scholarship programs.
