I currently have a pot simmering on the stove and it smells soooo good. I remember posting something on here about chili before and someone freaking out that I put sour cream in it. I am pretty sure that chili has a lot of regional differences. Like someone once told me they don't put beans in it and they were from Texas I think.
I make mine kind of spicy (well, as spicy as us Northerners get) and add cheese, sour cream and tortilla chips. Mmmmm.
Re: How do you eat your chili?
I like mine the same way you do... I'm in FL.
I'm a frito chili pie kind of girl. - Cheese, Fritos, Chili, maybe some onions.
Edit: - No beans in my Texas Chili!
How do I eat my chili?
Out of my own belly button of course.
Spicy, no beans for sure, and cubed roast/sirloin instead of ground beef.
We top it with shredded cheddar and onions. I actually like a spoonful of sour cream on top. We mostly eat it with cornbread or as Frito Pie.
I'm from TX - people who like beans put beans in their chili, people who don't like beans don't.
I like my chili with Ranch Style beans, a little bit spicy, some fresh onion, green bell pepper, and garlic browned with the meat; served over rice, cornbread, fritos, or tortilla chips and topped with cheese. I don't like sour cream (when I'm not pregnant, but right now it sounds good), so I don't add that, but lots of people do. The spicier the chili, the more need for sour cream.

Sounds good! Thanks for the recipe.
Where I'm from in Texas, everyone says "real" Texas chili doesn't have beans - haha
I do NOT put beans in mine, but I top it with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and onions. We also usually eat it with white rice.
I actually have some cooking on the stove right now as well! Can't wait to add cheese, sour cream and a tortilla! YUM!
Yum. Chili. I love it it with cheese and rice. So yummy.
I'm lucky because here in my area we have a chain of restaurants called Hard Times Cafe and they have some of the best chili. They have 4 different kinds. My favorite is actually vegetarian. It is spicy but I lurve it
This is EXACTLY how I eat mine!
We eat it with beans. I mash up saltines and put them in there.
From Cincinnati originally so....
Over spaghetti, topped with shredded cheddar, and hot sauce. 3-way style.... mmm. I also add coca powder and cinnamon to it while cooking, it gives that cincy flavor.
