To make this a true Texas tradition serve with toppings and a Dr. Pepper. So good! Toppings can be to your hearts desire. My favorites are black olives, tomatoes, lettuce, hot sauce, avocado and sour cream. TexMex nachos! TFS! Blessings, JJ

@allycat114: Believe me.. it might look like crap.. but it tastes like heaven!

I think I've been eating this "snack" all my life, though a lot of Southerners make it a meal. The absolute best chili to eat with this is Wolf Brand chili if you can find it. Also, using shredded cheese after you heat your chili is sometimes easier.

A tip or variation: try using flour tortillas. Make the "pie" just like you did here, heat your tortillas. Use the "pie" as your filling and you can add onions, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, etc. Trust me. Best thing ever.
