Chili experts! I have a question about rice!

[sasquatch]

I like to eat rice when I'm eating chili. It's white rice from the Mexican "Goya" company BTW if you're curios. Did you mix the rice in the chili or place it on the side. It's Texas style chili too, no beans, there beanless chili isn't half bad IMO.

1. I've never eaten rice and chili together, but it sounds like it would

taste good either way. I personally like to eat chili over a piece of cornbread because I like the way the flavors complement each other.

2. i mix my chili and rice. mmmm

not very "pc" but i also like corn in chili. something about the sweetness of the corn and spiciness of the chili. and i was born and raised in texas so i am probably going to hell for the corn thing.

15. So I'm not destroying the Texas tradition, good

30. Wolf brand chili, straight from the can, over cold white rice

I lived on that for a year when I was a freshman in college.

Left the house at 5:00AM, didn't get home till 11:00PM

Everybody in bed by then, so grab the rice from the fridge, and the chili from the pantry, wolf it down, and off to bed...

31. i just had some wolf brand chili for dinner

with colby jack cheese and saltines. i didn't feel like cooking rice.

[Xipe Totec]

32. You should try refried pinto beans with monterrey jack cheese

melted in.

I used to call it beaner butter.

It's great on toast.

33. refried beans with polska kielbasa (sp?) mixed in

multi-ethnic meal

35. Were you looking through the window?

when we made these?

We used summer sausage, but basically yes...

[prole_for_peace]

36. great minds...

anything is good with sausage. i have boiled it and then used the water to make instant mashed potatoes. not necessarily healthy but good.

3. Out here, we generally ladle the chili on top of the rice

as if it were gumbo or etouffee. In fact, I just did that at lunch today (office potluck).

Then again, we eat rice for breakfast -- often with Spam.

27. I like it that way too. If you are trying to stretch y our budget, it makes the

chili go further

[Tektonik]

4. With chili I like to put melted swiss or sour cream or better yet crema Mexicana in my rice and

leave the chili on the side.

[RushIsRot]

5. I like my chili atop rice. Great combo!

[alfredo]

6. I'd pour it over the top. Presentation is important, and it would look

good that way. I'd put some chopped jalapenos, some chopped white onion, and shredded cheddar. Put the Cheddar on first.

7. Avoid rice. It bloats you. I don't know why rice-eaters are THIN!1 Eat BEANS!1 /t

[sasquatch]

14. It's Texas style chili so NO BEANS!!

[ironflange]

8. No rice for me, I like it with corn chips

Or sometimes it's nice Cincinnati-style, you know, on spaghetti with extra toppings.

[pokerfan]

9. Frito pie!

It's awesome!

[ironflange]

10. Chili and Fritos were born to go together

But I've never heard of the bag thing. It looks like fun, gonna have to try it. Of course, beer is the beverage of choice with something like that. Or milk.

[pokerfan]

12. Don't forget the plastic spork!

[prole_for_peace]

24. and its better when eaten out of a frito bag cut down the side. n/t

[sasquatch]

13. We call that a walking taco where I live

[pokerfan]

18. As confirmed by Wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frito_pie

Frito pie (also known as "Frito Chili Pie," "Frito Boat", "Chili Frito Casserole" or, in the Midwest, a "Walking Taco") is a corn chip and chili con carne dish of disputed origin, popular in the South Western United States.

11. If the chili's really spicy, the rice helps save your mouth from melting.

I've eaten it on the side, alternatively with the chili, and I've put it in a bowl and spooned the chili over the top, which makes it easier to get the last bit of juice out of the bowl.

[Capn Sunshine]

16. Abstain your honor

Tortillas or nada.

[Sugar Smack]

17. That sounds delicious.

I'd sprinkle some cheddar over it all. :9

[Richardo]

38. And diced onion - red or white.

19. Kick

20. I love chili over white rice

yummy

22. On the side nt

[MilesColtrane]

23. The only time chili should meet rice...

...is incidentally on a number three combination plate.

[sasquatch]

25. That's how I ate it last night

Rice in one bowl, Chili in the other.

[MilesColtrane]

37. Thank you for not committing a crime against nature. n/t

[EstimatedProphet]

26. I pour it over the rice, like I would gumbo

However, I am in no way a curio.

[mcscajun]

28. No rice, ever. Cornbread. Homemade. Hot.

With honey butter.

:)

[Gormy Cuss]

29. I don't eat rice with chili, but if I did

it would be on the side so that I could mix it as I ate it. I have some chili recipes where the beans are on the side and it's a different experience that beans cooked into the chili.

[Taverner]

34. Personally, if I'm adding rice to my chili, I like brown rice

Texmati Brown really works with any given chili
