As any “Office” fan remembers, Baumgartner’s character brought in a pot of his “famous chili” – which he makes once a year – only to immediately trip and spill the entire vat all over the floor.

"I'm serious about this stuff," Kevin claimed during the episode. "I'm up the night before, pressing garlic, and dicing whole tomatoes. I toast my own ancho chiles. It's a recipe passed down from Malones for generations — it's probably the thing I do best."

“I love making chili. I really do. I consider it art. A little sweet, a little spicy... perfection. I only use Bush’s Chili Beans too. They simmer the beans before they even go in the can with these amazing spices and sauce — so you get that cooked-all-day flavor without having to wait all day,” Baumgartner said in a press release shared with Fox News.

BJ Thomas, Brand Manager for Bush’s, called the partnership the “perfect combination.”
