My First Frito Pie

Sadly, in my youth up north, what we called "chili" was made with beans AND macaroni.

Maybe it's for the best ... if we told them how good it really is, all the rest of those bums would be coming here, too.

But you havent educated Mae about beans and chili? BTW Beans may be served with Chili, but not cooked in the chile. This according to CASI.............

Are you able to educate your wife about anything?
Good point......I take it that you make the chili in your household?

Trust me when I say this. Even your frozen North Yankee for the Yankees home made chili beats the hades out of wolf brand.
au contraire mon frere, Wolf Brand has it's place and that place is on a bed of fritos.........
Topher, you can also sprinkle chopped pecans on the concoction.................
"Neighbor, how long has it been since you've had a big, THICK, steaming bowl of Wolf brand chili? That's too long."
It aint near as thick as it used to be. Discussed this on here a year or two ago. Seems like more sauce now, less meat than years ago. Maybe just fond memories of youth but.... Quaker bought out the brand in 1957 but still used Lyman T Davis original recipe unchanged, at the Corsicana (where he invented it in 1921) factory. 1985 they closed the plant & merged it with Stokley-Van Camp in Dallas. Somewhere in there or after that Con Agra bought em out. Somewhere in there I think it got thinned down. Still has a decent flavor to it. I usually add a little cubed leftover steak to it & let it simmer a while.
Chopped pecans??????

Yeah, there is a thing called
Fiesta Stack-ups......
You start with a big pot of Chili, put a layer of rice in bowl, add fritos, beans, shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes, black olives, coconut, pecans, pretty much anything your adventurous enough to try.
Sounds terrible and I usually just stick to chili, rice, fritos and cheese, but it's actually pretty good............
 
I don't like rice except long grained wild. Mixin even it with fritos or chili does not sound good. Never liked olives or coconut either. Sound's nasty.

I don't like rice y.

I know a guy that spent a year in Southeast Asia before I was born. He said the military was on an "eat what the natives eat" kick when he was there. Forty years later and he still won't eat rice.

OTOH, a Marine cousin of mine spent 3 years in Vietnam and 2 in Okinawa, and still loves rice.

Chili con carne (often known simply as chili) is a spicy stew. The name of the dish derives from the Spanish chile con carne, "chili pepper with meat". Traditional versions are made, minimally, from chili peppers, garlic, onions, and cumin, along with chopped or ground beef. Beans and tomatoes are frequently included. Variations, both geographic and personal, may involve different types of meat as well as a variety of other ingredients. It can be found in many countries in local variations and also in certain American-style fast food restaurants. The variant recipes provoke disputes among aficionados, and the dish is used as an ingredient in a number of other foods.

I agree, however if you want to you can serve chili with anything at all............... as long as it is not to a judge in a contest.......
 
Welp, thanks to a forum member on here who sent me some Wolf Brand Chili (NO BEANS!)... I can honestly say I have had Frito Pie in the manner which Texans enjoy it. I loveeed every bit of it however the heartburn that my wife and I suffered afterwards was awful. My chest hurt for a solid three to four hours. :) Wolf chilli is much different from chilli you get up here in the great white frozen wasteland. It tastes like chilli that has some sort of taco seasoning in it... that's probably not a good description but it's the best I can think of at the moment. Incidentally, my wife prefers PBCP whereas I prefer shredded and we both heap on the jalapenos and onion. I have two cans left of Wolf chilli but I'm saving those for late August when I sit and listen to Hico all day. ;)

3-4 hours of heartburn? Sounds like u got the mix a little weak....
If the heartburn doesn't last all night, while eating tums, it wasn't good fritopie.

That 24 hour heartburn you talk about comes from that cheap snuff you dip.
You must be speaking from experience. I'm not the one that dips cheap snuff.
