I'm curious about a BBQ chicken chili recipe but I have not eaten chili before. Is it a stand-alone dish? if not, how is it traditionally eaten? and what do you personally eat it with?

    I like my chili with a side of chili, often with chili for dessert.

    Oh, and the spicier, the better!

    I like chili with some shredded cheese & dollop of sour cream, and if it's not oniony enough for me, I will put chopped raw onion on top as well.

    I used to include crackers or corn chips with that (mixed into the chili) but I don't really miss those now.

    I like it best with cornbread. My husband prefers oyster crackers.

    Sour cream and avocado for me. <3 Depending on the chili and my mood, sometimes some bread to mop up the juice.

    It can be stand alone. Many dip bread into it.

    Tortilla chips! Also, I top my chili with shredded cheese and sour cream. Sometimes I add a green salad on the side.

    Not sure if it's a southern thing or if people do it elsewhere too, but I like chili over a split baked potato. Then, topped with shredded SHARP cheddar cheese, a little sour cream, and a sprinkling of diced green onion. :P

    DIced onion, fresh sliced jalapeno, a little sour cream and a little shredded cheese. Ditto on the corn bread and a glass of sweet tea (Ugh..I wish I had a bowl right NOW) The next day I use the left overs and make frito chili pies or chili mac :)

    I make cornmeal dumplings and drop them on top. It reminds me of tamales which I LOVE but not nearly the work. Send me a message and give you the recipe

    Chili simply isn't chili without pb&j. Tear the sandwich in half and dunk it in the chili. Life is as it should be.

    Haven't had chili since I started MFP, but when I did it was either:

    • Cornbread
    or
    • Cheese and crushed-up crackers

    I don't usually do it anymore, but cinnamon rolls. Strange combo, I know, but growing up the school cafeteria always served those together and it's really pretty awesome. I kind of want chili and cinnamon roll for lunch now, mmmmm ????
