WHATS FOR DINNER?

Those of you saying that chili without beans is just soup, have never had real chili then. The stuff I eat is no form of meat sauce, as I make both. My beans always are slow-cooked with a ham steak, my meat sauce is a sauce, and my chili is chili. It's not soup, it's not stew, it's not sauce. It's chili. If it has beans in it, then it's chili with beans--not chili. And like Gary's, it will clear your sinuses. Cornbread is eaten with beans, not chili. Chili is eaten with corn tortillas around here, and where I grew up (El Paso).
Poor, misguided, food-ignorant people.

And crazy people in Cincinnati eat chili (with and without beans as well as nutmeg and sometimes cinnamon) on top of spaghetti. :crazy:
And no rice under my stew!

I make a different chili for hot dogs. Not hot and more tomato. I make regular chili with beans though. Last year I made it a couple times with ground smoked sausage and andouille which was great. Still had beans of course. I usually eat mine with crackers and grated cheese also.
I made some a while back using my regular recipe with ground chuck, but also added about a half pound of diced up Conecuh. It was pretty good.

I eat my chili with crackers crumbled in it, sometimes with a little shredded cheddar on top. If I eat it over rice I don't put crackers in it, but I like a piece of buttered cornbread on the side.
Now something most find weird, I like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a bowl of chili and a glass of milk. I guess its from when I was a kid, when they served chili for lunch at school they always served a peanut butter sandwich with it (the kind of peanut butter with honey mixed in it).
My mother used to serve us leftover chili with butter bread. To this day when I eat it I crave butter bread too.
I'd say I want some chili but its 100 degrees outside and that's just too **** hot for chili weather.

I love gumbo. And yes definitely with rice but I'd eat it without rice too.
We're not to big on rice in these parts unless its Spanish rice of course but its not integral like in Cajun cuisine.
Cajun cuisine is special and I love it like I love Mexican food. I'm jealous you get to live there and eat it all the time and think nothing of it as being something special like it is here. The trinity is a fine thing.

My dad used to eat red beans over buttered slice bread. I have to say its strange but great.

Never mix potatoes and rice. That's just a starch bomb. It doesn't make a protein like beans & rice combo.

Midwest stew has beef, cel, potatoes, carrots, onions, in a bowl. Some add stewed tomatoes but I don't like that. I will put diced sun dried tomatoes sometimes but that's it. Great with french bread on the side.

We had fresh rockfish my husband caught today. I'm not a big fish lover but it was good

Somebody brought me a home made sweet potato pie. Can't wait to have a piece after while with some whipped cream on top.

Did you like the shrimp steamed?
I've never heard of honey in chili. I put some grape jelly in mine though

I like butter and honey on my cornbread so I decided to try it in my chili just for the hell of it. My family all thinks I'm nuts, but I think it tastes good. I think I've hear you mention the grape jelly in the past. Don't think I'll try it any time soon. lol
