What do you put on your Chili?

Howdy,

I'm thinking of hosting a Monday night football viewing on my outdoor movie screen in October. We thought having a big Chili self service area woudl be fun.

What we want to do is have the main chili sauce and noodles in crock pots or something to keep them warm, and then we'll have all the "extras" in bowls on the side so everyone can choose what they want to customize their chili.

SO I need to know what kinds of things to have available since I'm not a huge Chili nut.

I know we'd have cheese, oyster crackers, sour cream, and some sort of beans but what else should we have?

Thanks!

You guys are wierd. But I knew that after some Aussie surfers told us about spitting the winkel.

As for add-ons, for those too mucho, you can add sliced Jalapeno peppers. If you do it yourself, use a glove. But you can buy them in the can too.

Are you using a recipe, someone else bringing it, or *gasp*, from a can?

 
You listed all the things i put on chili, except tortilla chips.

i never tried it but I bet bacon would be good on chili.

 
I hope you've got a range of chilli heats: a chilli party without a habanero or birds eye option for real men, and jalapeno for the women & children, is not a chilli part at all...
 
what about chives or green onions a variety of cheese, guacamole, tortilla chips, more ground beef, roasted garlic, sauteed onions

you yankees are weird. yes, your profile says kentucky, but i think you're just across the river from cincinnati.


chili gets: hot sauce (crystal) cheese, onions, and jalapenos.
 
I was also thinking... for dessert, to cut the spiciness, why not serve ice cream floats or milk shakes? i know milk/dairy products cut the hotness from foods!
 
I make mine from scratch. I picked the seeds out of dried chipolte pepper pods and ground them in a processor. Also add cumin as the other significant spice. And cinnamon is good along with brown sugar.

That's nothing. I extract the calf embryo from the host cow, incubate it till mature, butcher it and grind it myself.

That is doing it from scratch.

Ha... and not sure I want to know how the cow got that way... 😉

True story and it always flashes in my head when I hear "made from scratch"

Back in the 70's, when about the only person who got Organic Gardener, Mother Earth News, and had an organic garden was my dad. He grew up during the Depression, so we had a house garden, a farm, and raised rabbits and chickens for the kitchen.

Back then, finding whole wheat and all the other stuff that you would find in a health food store these days, was difficult. Well, we also had 100# bags of chicken scratch. It was wheat mixed with corn. Dad decided he wanted to make whole wheat bread. We spent about an hour picking dried corn out of the wheat so he could grind it for flour. Yep, whole wheat bread... From scratch.

OK, back on topic...

Rice is another good thing. I like dryer chili so either add corn meal or rice to dry it out. So, if the chili is more towards soup, rice can be a base to top it with.

Probably the same people that don't put Beans in it. You know, those who make you go, "WTF?"

It seems blaspemous to me to put anything on chilli. With the possible exceptions of Parmesan, cheddar, other cheese, or Hot Sauce(s). I suppose anything you would put on a Nacho would work with chilli, but a good chilli doesn't need a whole bunch of crap poured on it. Chilli and a good bread should be all that is needed.
