I make a great chili, but when it comes to chili dogs i get the cans. Hormel use to be about the only choice. Dog food (I am guessing) can’t be much worse than this. I just now I had a can of Bush’s homestyle chili, no beans, blows Hormel away!

Good posts! I am eating a bowl right now. It is a very high sodium meal, and I am not supposed to have a lot of salt, so I parred it down with some crushed tomatoes (no salt). I added some sugar, and spices, and it is much improved; I think!

This is my first visit here, and I’m impressed. I am a cook/assistant manager in a tavern in St Louis. I’m also a single male into bargain shopping, yummy junk food, and cheap eats. I’ll be back.

Cincinnati Chili is actually a whole post unto itself. It consists of a meaty sauce served over spaghetti noodles. Then what you put on top of it determines the name. With shredded cheddar & onion is 3 Way, I think, and cheddar, onion, sour cream & beans is a 5 Way. I’m bad at math so don’t quote me.

My mom has a great recipe for it, I can email it to you. It’s got a LOT of spices, but it makes a TON.

I eat the vegetarian 99% fat free version of this Hormel Chili. While it doesn’t really resemble chili, it’s a healthy, protein rich meal. And cheap when on sale for a buck at my local Safeway!

I “discovered” a great use for Hormel Chili With Beans one night when some friends dropped by and I needed to make a quick snack for them. I dumped some plain tortilla chips onto a large plate, poured a can of chili over them, sprinkled some sliced jalapenos over the top, and piled up some shredded mozzarella cheese over it all and microwaved it until the cheese melted, then added dabs of cold salsa all around the plate and on top. (I’m sure you could also add sour cream, but I don’t like it, so I don’t…) It was just meant as an emergency munchy, but it turned out to be VERY popular and is now requested when people come over. And I have been known to make a small batch for dinner for myself – very cheap and quick!

abi – oh yeah chili mac, i’ve heard it called that…

albert – did I ever say I had chili cred? please read the full post, rather even the first sentence. I’m sure that you have favorite ethnic foods that I’m going to laugh my ass at because you think they’re “authentic” as well.
