If you're gonna do noodles, it's much better with maccaroni than spaghetti.

Rice in chili is pretty common in SE Tx/La.

Chili Mac is gourmet fare, especially baked with the cheese on top until it browns. It all depends on the chili, good chili, good chili mac. Beans in chili, ok, beans in chili mac, yuk.

We use bowties with chili and pastalaya. Bite sized and they hold up well.

homemade Hamburger Helper

Pretty much what my husband said. He hates Hamburger Helper, but he approves of homemade. I have to agree, this was much better.

I usually have elbow macaroni with chili, But I cook them separately. My opinion may be invalid as I put beans in my chili.

Thought the first: Noodles in chili is an abomination

Thought the second: When you want to cook noodles directly in a dish, make it a little bit more watery than you normally would cook it. Then, add the noodles and just keep a close eye on it, adding liquid as necessary until the noodles are the correct amount of done. There's no need to perfectly calculate the right amount of liquid on the front side and hope for the best. Just keep adding to keep the consistency you want at the end, and remember that the noodles are probably going to soak up a little more after cooking, so you might want to add just a splash more liquid after you serve everybody and while the stuff's cooling down.

My grandmother is from Pensacola and she always served chili with noodles. I think it started as a cheap way to stretch out chili when feeding 6 kids though.

Skyline Chili is probably the most popular place that does this dish, LINK

They use spaghetti noodles. I wouldn't say it's necessarily good or bad, just different.

Cincinnati Chili evolved from the Greek immigrants there. They're not purists like Texans and others, so they put their own spin on it. Spices like cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, etc.

You order based on the "Way" system as follows:

Two-way: spaghetti topped with chili (also called "chili spaghetti")
Three-way: spaghetti, chili, and cheese
Four-way: spaghetti, chili, onions, and cheese
Four-way bean: spaghetti, beans, chili, and cheese (beans substituted for the onions)
Five-way: spaghetti, beans, chili, onions, and cheese

Only time I've ever had anything similar was when I went to Mike's Chili Parlor north of Seattle. They serve it over Spaghetti....it was pretty damn good.

I thought I was watching a food network promotion with those fonts and layouts Nice job!

Chocolate adds a great depth to the flavor, and the sugar mellows out plenty of the spice. I read on these boards a while back others championing the Hershey addition, and it is a killer one. I love it in my chili now.
