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.

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.

Are beans considered to be a starchy companion?
Our chili tends to be chopped meat with small red beans
(definitely not kidney beans).
"frito pies"?
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

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.
"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.

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

I might have heard about that when she was here -- but forgot. It does sound like a good thing.

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.

You can skip the dishes and just pour chili into a bag of fritos,
sprinkle the mess with cheese and dig into the bag with a plastic
spoon!

That made me chuckle -- and it gets a NTF [copyright BF]
