What do you add to your chili?

[Phillip]

After you make your chili...what other food items do you add to it?

Jalapenos and hot sauce cause I love spicy chili and other foods.

How to you eat this with rice or just on its own .

Chili is a pretty common nationwide dish in the U.S.
I prefer a mild chili. Sometimes grated cheese, crumbled crackers, tortilla chips or Fritos on top. Also goes very well with cornbread.

Always good when you go and try different foods out...if it tastes good just mild, hot or really hot foods...but if you didn't like spice to it...it's better off plain.

Literal translation from Spanish is: "con carne" = "with meat".
Basically the same dish; the difference would be that there would usually be no beans in the "con carne" version; and would cost more than the "with beans" label.
In canned chili, the taste/spices they use will usually vary some from brand to brand.

I like to try different foods thats for sure spice or not ... even if i go to a restaurant ... most people will pick what they like i will pick what i never tried before if there is any.

You probably already know that some canned goods/prepared foods are pretty good, especially handy to keep on hand; and others, other brands are just downright crummy. There are some pretty good brands of canned chili.

There's a good canned chilis out there...some are so good just the way they are...some of them adding stuff to it makes them taste better.

I don't see it much in the stores these days where I buy groceries; but, in the past, Yes, it was pretty good. Try some with beans, also "con carne" to decide if you like either one.
Gebhardt's used to be a good brand; I think they've gone under, but I did find this: looks pretty simple:
=============
Unfortunately, cans of Gebhardt's chili con carne have not appeared on grocery shelves for many years, but Gebhardt's Mexican Foods did share their recipe with Al and Mildred Fischer for their 1984 "Chili-Lovers' Cook Book". The recipe is as follows:

Gebhardt's Chili con Carne
Courtesy Gebhardt's Mexican Foods -- San Antonio, Texas

2 lbs. MEAT (chopped fine)
4 Tbsp. Gebhardt's CHILI POWDER
2 cloves GARLIC (minced)
4 Tbsp. FLOUR
4 Tbsp. FAT
1 lg. ONION (chopped)
1 Tbsp. SALT
1 quart HOT WATER

Use cheaper cuts of meat; cut into small chunks (DO NOT grind). Mix with chili powder, garlic and flour. Melt fat in deep pot and sauté onion until tender. Add the meat and cook 15 minutes. Add salt. Gradually pour on hot water. Simmer one hour (or until tender). (Serves 4 to 6)
========================
Another pretty good brand you could look for is Cattle Drive Gold. I don't think that they make "con carne".
