Now what should I make with it bulgur, quinoa, rice or pasta? It's basically so hot that you do not want to eat it by itself.





although you could serve it over spaghetti noodles and have a perfectly acceptable chili mac.



HOLY WTF batman. No....do not do this. It's actually a pretty good possibility that if you do lightning will strike you in the face as soon as you spoon your first helping on the blasphemes noodles.

Cornbread, saltine crackers, or fritos.


/mumbles wtf fing spaghetti and chili.

eh, i'm not that much of a purist. there's a chili joint here in DC that called Hard Times that made me a believer with their chili mac.

i'd definitely rather see it over spaghetti than quinoa. sheesh.

A little bit of cocoa really goes nicely with chilis and their heat, and gives it a nice rounded flavor.


Sounds like a good recipe Mammogram!

Thats not bad ,I've only rarely seen someone serve chili in Texas that doesn't use course ground beef/Minced Beef, chunks are a rarity,but as long as you don't have beans or anything fruity in it no one would object to it being called "Texas Chili".

If you go for Texas style BBQ the rule when I first moved here (it has relaxed some) was that all BBQ sauces could only consist of three main ingredients...molasses,worshire sauce,and ketchup,(rarely a little brown sugar) you can add spices but that has to be the base of the sauce.

The thing about the cocoa is that you really don't taste it if you use it properly. I don't know if adding chocolate would qualify as proper use, but I do know that again, in the proper amount, you don't really taste the cocoa, but taste its effect if that makes sense. Certainly a sensitive palate can taste it but really that'd only be if you were concentrating on trying to pick it out.

It's kind of like when you properly season a dish with salt - you don't taste the salt per se, but rather the effect it has on the rest of the ingredients and flavors it enhances rather than the metallic flavor of the salt itself.
