What do you serve chilli con carne with?

Question

I've got a big pan of chilli slowly simmering away. Usually my choices of what to have it with are pasta, rice, chips, baked potato, nann or garlic bread.

But is there anything more interesting I could try?

If I'm not mistaken, chilli con carne is usually served with rice, which is a nice complement to the obligated beans, meat and chilli. Plain cooked patatoes seem a good alternative to me because they make whole a bit lighter. On the other hand I'm not convinced by pasta, but why not? Some people also like plain bread.

Did someone tried couscous, or bulgur? Can't be bad.

When I make s big pot of chili it's a meal on it's own. I put pasta elbows right in the chili, I never have the need for anything else other then fresh garlic bread and some fries for chili fries and the usual toppings sour cream, grated cheddar cheese or mozzarella.

I serve it over chicken enchiladas.  They’re incredibly easy to make, but rolling them takes a few minutes.

All of the above... And truthfully I cannot think of any further suggestions... Sorry.

You’ve hit all of my favorites except for cornbread. Especially sweet cornbread with a spicy chili is wonderful! I’ve also had chili on toast, kinda like “sh*t on a shingle”. Ell oh ell! In the states, putting chili on sausages and burgers is pretty common. You listed pasta, but “chili mac” is a classic here. I’ve even seen it baked together and made into a sandwich filling.
I luv chili and i’ve tried it every which way i can think of, and i’m wide open to suggestions!

It makes a good dip when cheese is added to it. The thing is I can never choose which cheese to use. I love soft cheeses and hard ones too. I love the rich flavored ones and the stinky ones too. But I guess if you just put it on a hotdog I am happy. Although on a cheeseburger is equally as good…. Just so many uses for it….

I've never seen chili served over anything. It's not a sauce. It's a meal of its own. It does go very well with a side of corn bread. The corn bread can be served with butter and honey or maple syrup.

Chili dogs are good, too.

In America, it’s very popular with corn bread and white rice you dump the chili on the white rice

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

Just in my opinion and it may sound cliche I think they're best with corn tortillas. Either hard or soft. I tried it with rice and bread, doesn't taste as good. Any starch that's light or less starchy works well with it. Like cabbage/letus, it works almost as fine.

Pudsmucker · Answer

Cornbread, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, smoke Gouda cheese. Ground venison is good with chili

I like to eat chilli by itself. Is that weird?  I just think it’s a protein bowl.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

In a bread bowl. Then you get to dip tortilla chips in it and eat the bowl that soaked-up all the chilli goodness.
