    Cincinatti-style chilli ...
    5-way: Ladle the chilli over the spaghetti and top it
    with beans, onion, Cheddar, and oyster crackers.

    I have never had nor seen that, nor would I ever hope to.

    Oyster crackers would make it six way! I've never had that combo but
    certainly beanless chili mixed with macaroni, sprinkled with
    shredded Cheddar cheese and then baked in the oven until the cheese
    melts is a tasty combo.

    Chili kind of cries out for some kind of starchy companion. I have
    served it on toast occasionally, Soupy chili sometimes gets
    crackers crumbled over it. Frito pies with corn chips and cheese are
    nice. Beans are good of course. I've read that in east Texas it is
    often served over rice; I tried that once but didn't fall in love
    with that particular combination.

    Since chili is usually a shortcut for "chili con carne" vegetarian
    chili sounds like an oxymoron but chili powder seasoning is good for
    many other dishes besides chili con carne.

    Title: Isabelle's Pumpkin and Black Bean Chili
    Categories: Vegetarian, Beans, Chili, Corn, Beer
    Yield: 12 Servings

    1 sm Pie pumpkin
    1 tb Olive oil
    1 md Onion, diced
    3 Cloves garlic, minced
    1 cn (28 oz) plum tomatoes,
    Chopped
    2 cn (19 oz) black beans, drained
    Rinsed
    1 Bottle (300 ml) stout
    2 tb Brown sugar or maple syrup
    1 tb Chili powder
    1 tb Ground cumin
    1 ts Each cinnamon and oregano
    2 Chipotle peppers, finely
    Minced
    1 Red bell pepper, diced
    1 c Fresh or frozen corn
    Kernels

    To make the pumpkin easier to cut, pierce with a fork a few times
    and microwave on high for 1 minute. Set aside to cool. Once
    pumpkin is cool enough to handle, cut in half. Scoop out and
    discard the seeds (or save them to make toasted pepitas), then cut
    each half into six wedges. Using a sharp paring knife, cut the
    peel from each wedge, then chop into 1/2" cubes.

    Pour the olive oil into a large heavy-bottomed pot set over
    medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until soft and translucent,
    about 5 minutes. Add garlic and squash, and continue cooking for
    another 5 minutes, or until onion is golden. Stir in tomatoes,
    beans, beer, brown sugar, spices and chipotle peppers. Bring the
    chili to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for
    25 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender. Stir in red pepper and
    corn, and continue simmering for another 5-10 minutes or until
    corn is bright yellow and peppers are soft.

    Serve piping hot with your favourite chili garnishings - grated
    cheddar, sour cream, chopped cilantro, green onions or all of the
    above (which is my personal preference).

    Gumbo over rice -- yes. Chili over rice -- no. What do you mean by
    "frito pies"? Our usual addition to our chili is chopped onion and
    grated cheddar cheese.

    Since chili is usually a shortcut for "chili con carne" vegetarian
    chili sounds like an oxymoron but chili powder seasoning is good for

    Certainly.

    Title: Lentil Chili
    Categories: Low fat, Chili, Posted
    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 c Lentils
    5 c Water
    28 oz Canned tomatoes
    1 Bell pepper, chopped
    2 Jalapenos, chopped
    1 lg Onion, chopped
    4 Garlic cloves, minced
    1 tb Chili powder
    2 ts Cumin
    1 ts Oregano
    Salt to taste
    More cayenne to taste

    Rinse the lentils and cook until soft. There will be extra water, but
    since this is soup, that's okay. Add the tomatoes and veggies, and
    cook until the onion is soft. Add the spices to taste.

    Variations:
    As someone else pointed out, adding bulgur (or brown rice) is tasty
    and satisfying. Add 1/2 cup of grain to the lentils and add another 1
    cup of water.

    Shredded carrots and corn are also good. In fact, I've found that
    you can make just about any gloopy mass into chili by adding chili
    powder. :-)

    Kidney beans are also very good in this recipe.

    Chili kind of cries out for some kind of starchy companion

    Are beans considered to be a starchy companion?

    They're not as starchy as rice, pasta or tortillas. Pulses (dried
    legume seeds) contain protein, complex sugars, carbs including
    starch, fibre and vegetable vitamins. They're a superfood!

    Our chili tends to be chopped meat with small red beans
    (definitely not kidney beans).

    We usually use ground meats for convenience but hand chopped diced
    meats are certainly best. I like my beans on the side, not cooked in
    the chili and people can add them to their bowl or not as they
    please. Those small red beans are great if I can get them (that's
    hit and miss in my part of the world) so I've also used black,
    pinto, kidney and cranberry (Romano) beans and others. After Loo
    brought it up, I tried and liked lentils with chili too. Most times
    Roslind makes a mild all meat chili with just a hint of cumin so my
    bean pot is very heavy on both chilies and cumin which makes the
    blend perfect.

    "frito pies"?

    A plate covered in layers of Frito corn chips then chili, then
    grated cheese. It's a Texas thing that Kathy Pitts brought up here
    decades ago.

    I agree with the main recipe here, but not the variants.

    Title: Lentil Chili
    Variations:
    bulgur (or brown rice)
    Shredded carrots and corn
    Kidney beans

    No, just no. No bulgur, brown rice or carrots. Never!

    Lentils or kidney beans, but not both together.

    Having said that corn is good with black beans and pumpkin or squash
    in vegetable stews seasoned with chili powder.

    finishing the dish.

    I buy those bags of corn chips, the cheapish ones portraying themselves as something you'd find in a resturant. Here's what I do from there...take 4 hotdogs and cut into rounds, toss into water (I usually add a dash of ground chili and cumin to the water, but then I like cumin) and boil the heck out of them, drain, dump a can of whatever chili was handy (yeah, I buy the ones with beans sometimes, most often not, but I do add more cumin and ground chili because the chili is wimpy, I make my own green chili but wouldn't waste it on hotdogs because it's got those wonderful dead pigs in it) in on top of the hotdogs, heat, ladle over a crushed handful of those corn chips, and add grated extra sharp cheddar over the top (the best cheese I can find, can't be a cheapskate forever).

    1 dirty pot, spoon, knife, and lid.
    1 dirty mitt from crushing chips.
    1 dirty bowl, and the same spoon, so it's serving double duty.

    Just got back from Kasilof...saw 4 moose yesterday, 1 of which was a bull with a nice set of antlers. Along with the usual suspects - mallards, swans, loons, cranes, eagles, ravens, etcetera.

    With all of the recommendations from folks here, I think that we might
    try some version of frito pie some day when we don't want to eat in one
    of the restaurants.

    I can also see using this recipe for frito pie. But I would prefer
    little red beans instead of kidney beans. I might also adjust the
    spices up -- not sure without tasting.

    1 c Ribs celery, diced
    1 lg Onion - chopped
    2 ea Garlic cloves, crushed
    1 1/4 lb Hot italian sausage -
    Removed from casing.
    8 1/2 c Chicken broth
    Additional 14 oz can at end
    2 cn 14 oz canned diced tomatoes
    1 lb Dried lentils

    MMMMM-------------------------SEASONINGS------------------------------
    1 ts Salt (Did not add)
    3/4 ts Black pepper
    1/2 ts Crushed red pepper flakes
    1/2 ts Oregano
    1/2 ts Thyme
    1 ts Fennel seeds
    1 ea Bay leaf.

    45 minute prep.. Large crockpot done in 5 to 6 hours.

    In large saucepan,heat oil over med high heat. Add carrot, celery,
    onion and crushed garlic. Saute until tender.

    Remove vegetables from the pan, and add one pound of hot Italian
    sausage that has been removed from the casing. Brown the sausage and
    drain off the fat.

    NOTE: I used 6 quart crockpot to cook the soup.

    In Large stockpot, place 8 1/2 cups of chicken broth, the vegetables
    and the cooked sausage meat. Add the two cans of diced tomatoes. Add
    the dried lentils which have been washed according to package
    directions.

    Add seasonings (see above)

    Simmer until the lentils are tender- 30 - 45 minutes. Make sure
    lentils are tender.

    NOTE: With crockpot I cooked on high for 5 hours and lentils were
    still not totally tender. Will cook 6 hours on high next time

    Remove 1/2 of the soup and puree it using hand held blender and then
    return it to the pot. Correct seasonings and remove bay leaf.

    I did NOT puree any of the soup.

    Very close to Carrabbas soup. Makes a large amount. Should freeze
    well. I will make again.

    Spiceness of soup hinges closely to how hot the sausage is.
