In Search of the Perfect Chili Pie - The Update
Posted by Lynnster on April 23, 2008
Yum, that was good. Needed more onion, though. I was a little too conservative with the chopped onion (that almost killed me while chopping it, and normally I don’t get weepy when chopping onions but that sucker was superstrong). I thought I had already put too much in and it turned out not to be enough, will just toss every bit of onion I have left in tomorrow probably.
And note to self about just going ahead and biting the bullet and buying real Fritos corn chips next time. The Kroger version, they were way too salty, and I like salty, so if I think it’s too salty then there’s way too much salt.
Other than that, perfect. Maybe even BETTER than Sonic’s chili pie if I get the above noted changes right in the future.
Sometime in the near future when I can afford to splurge a little bit at the grocery again, I have every intention of trying this recipe out. Every time I read it, it makes my mouth water, yummmmm.
The dogs are having 98 cents a big box saltine crackers for treats instead of their usual generic Milk Bone treats right now, but like they care. You know people food is WAY better than dog food anyway, and considering some of the stuff I’ve seen several of them eat (except Daisy, who is perfect) that I didn’t intend for them to eat, crackers are an improvement over, say, paper towels or cardboard.
