Combine your cuisines! Try serving your chili topped with, alongside, inside, or underneath these out-of-the-ordinary suggestions:
	spaghetti squash fried/scrambled eggs vegetable slaw cooked greens salad veggie chips cornbread couscous fried rice niblet corn sauerkraut tomato or pickle relish taco bowl melted cheese sauce grits roasted peppers assorted chopped olives crumbled cornbread
	Need a new party theme? Throw a chili party! Make a batch of chili and serve it buffet style with all the fixings alongside. Decorate your table with chili pepper napkins and paper plates, and hang chili pepper lights in the dining room.
	Use chili (and rice if you like) as a stuffing for tacos, enchiladas, crepes, and roasted peppers.
	Experiment with different ingredients. For example, if you usually use beef - try turkey, chicken, pork, veal - or a combination. Make meatless chili or beanless chili for a change.
	Serve chili for breakfast! Mild chili topped with melted Cheddar or American cheese is a delicious accompaniment to your morning eggs, grits or corn muffin.
	Make extra batches of chili to freeze - and you'll always have an easy meal on hand.
	Making pasta? Instead of traditional sauce, use chili.
