I like mine with cut up fresh onion and cheddar cheese on top, and it better have enough hot pepper in it. Then your only need after that is a few ice cold beers and a couple of slices of sourdough bread.

I make really thick chunky chili but it's best eaten with a spoon. I love to add cheese on top when it's really hot so it will melt and then add maybe some sour cream. A side of homemade cornbread and it's a perfect cold evening meal, or lunch:-)

First choice is over rice
I also like it wrapped up in a tortilla (chili burrito!) or in an omelet.
I've also had it over a piece of cornbread when there was no rice available - that was good too - but I'd prefer my cornbread on the side.

Hawaiian local style - over rice with mayonnaise and maybe some diced onions, cheese, and sometimes French fries.

by rigby on October 30th, 2007
with lots of CHEESE! and Fritos and sour cream or ranch dressing

I eat it many different ways. I don't like beans in my chili though.
I make Frito pies. I eat it plain with crackers. And my favorite way to eat it is with spaghetti, cheese, and onions.
by Drastic on October 30th, 2007
I put crackers in my chili, and eat it with a spoon:)
by WVUMountaineers on October 30th, 2007
with a big piece of cornbread broke up in it...mmm mmm good!
by Jackie R. on July 23rd, 2008
Lots of Cheddar cheese, sour cream over abaked potatoe or with crackers.

i put chease on my chili
by Galeanda on November 29th, 2007
There isn't any thin juice in my chili. It's all thick goodness. I love making some cornbread and maybe crumbling it up in it. A spoon and a cup, I'm happy:-)
by TorbyCat on October 31st, 2007
I eat it over rice with shredded cheese on top.
by Tom 47 is back in his bear COAT on October 31st, 2007
With beans and sometimes without. Always with Fritos, and usually with chopped onions and grated cheese sprinkled on top. Ever heard of Mex-eggs? It is an omelet with chili poured over them. And of course, everyone knows what a 'chili dog' is, don't they? "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways"...
by numbnuts on October 30th, 2007
Clothed, naked, I don't care as long as it
is good chili. With crackers, celery sticks
as a palate cleanser. I have made and eaten
chili 3 times a day for 4 days in a row. Used
to be my very favorite food.
by Jade on October 30th, 2007
I make my chili very thick and put cheese on top. Sometimes I scoop it with tortilla chips and sometimes I make Frito Pie or chili dogs.
by JustCurious on October 30th, 2007
I put fritos or tortilla chips in the bottom of the bowl, then chili, then shredded cheese and a little pickle relish. yumm now I want some chili.
by Anonymoose on October 30th, 2007
With Saltines and Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese in it. Also-we do the Cincinnati style chili. Delish!!!
EDIT**Your question reminded me of a joke about a judge at a chili contest. I shall post it here for your viewing enjoyment. It's kind of long, but well worth the read!
If you pay attention to the first two judges, the reaction of the third judge is even better. For those of you who have lived in Texas, you know how true this is. They actually have a Chili Cook-off about the time Halloween comes around. It takes up a major portion of a parking lot at the San Antonio City Park.
JOKE:
Judge #3 was an inexperienced Chili taster named Frank, who was visiting from Springfield, IL.
Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted".
Here are the scorecard notes from the event:
Chili Cook-off
CHILI # 1 - MIKE'S MANIAC MONSTER CHILI...
Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.
Judge # 2 -- Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
Judge # 3 (Frank) -- Holy sh*t, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy.
CHILI # 2 - AUSTIN'S AFTERBURNER CHILI...
Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.
CHILI # 3 - FRED'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI...
Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick.
Judge # 2 -- A bit salty, good use of peppers.
Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting sh*t-faced from all of the beer.
CHILI # 4 - BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC...
Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.
Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the beer maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300-LB woman is starting to look HOT...just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac?
CHILI # 5 LISA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER...
Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
Judge # 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks.
CHILI # 6 - VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY...
Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers.
Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.
Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I sh*t on myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that Sally. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my *ss with a snow cone.
CHILI # 7 - SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI..
Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. *I should take note that I am worried about Judge # 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.
Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't t feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing it's too painful. Screw it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.
CHILI # 8 - BIG TOM'S TOENAIL CURLING CHILI...
Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 farted, passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it, poor feller, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot chili?
Judge # 3 - No Report

I like mine VERY spicy, and I use iceberg lettuce leaves to scoop and add a nice crunch :)
by Sheriff Raff -Answerhag on December 13th, 2007
what kind of watery chili do you have that you drain out "juice"? i like Hormel Turkey Chili with Beans from a can.
I like it with sour cream, cheddar cheese and even chopped onions. I may have some chips with it but that is rare.
by Highlander is semi-retired from AB on November 28th, 2007
With a spoon.
by sweetgirl on November 28th, 2007
I love chili. I put sour cream and grated cheddar cheese on top. Then I crumble up a few tortilla chips and stir it all together. Then I eat it with a spoon.
by Sarahisamommy on November 28th, 2007
I like mine with corn bread, lots of spice, no beans ever.... and lots and lots of CHEESE! and FRITO's YUMMY!

by floam84 on October 30th, 2007

by Little big mouth on October 30th, 2007
I've never tried chili
by Cam on November 6th, 2009
Well until now I always ate it with cornbread and a little sour cream in it but your way sounds better LOL
by redcatt63 is around here somewhere...... on October 26th, 2009
I like mine chunky with meat, beans, onions and rotel (diced tomatoes and green chiles). I like to top it with some shredded cheddar, sour cream and some crackers.

I am salivating!! That sounds like deer camp chilli to me!
by Tom 47 is back in his bear COAT on November 3rd, 2007
No doubt that the best chili is heated over an open fire and eaten under the stars. When we go camping the chili is my main food supply.
by thekingcobra63 on November 3rd, 2007
Amen! And I usually get the brick chili and then do my own thing with it.
