Who would ever think of eating pasta, cheese, and tomato
sauce all at the same time? That's just insane.

I had a friend who brought a casserole of hot dogs and grape jelly to
a pot-luck. What are you trying to get at? Don't know what "chili
size" is, but the rest is pretty much normal midwest America when I I
grew up. My mother would have found creamed tuna "exotic".

Chili Size is a Western U.S. meal. It's two grilled hamburger buns placed
side by side, then each is topped with a patty of meat, and the whole thing
is covered in straight chili, shredded sharp cheddar, and diced onions.

You learn lots of things on this group. I thought everybody in the US
knew what a "chili size" was. Nope. Google has barely heard of it!

It's just a chili burger. It's usually served open face, and eaten with
knife and fork.

Okay, is a chili burger like a chili dog, chili spooned on top of a
wiener in a bun, or is it chili spooned on a bun, no meat patty involved?

The 'new' thing around here is serving diced up hot dogs in bottled barbeque
sauce, served in a styrofoam cup and a toothpick to eat them with. Someone

too many.

Open a bun and put a burger on each half. Cover with chili. Onions,
cheese, hot sauce optional.

The airport at Fresno in central California claims to have invented it.

> Franks & Beans Casserole

It's most fun when you make the beans from scratch then use a better
type of sausage. I've had the type from can but don't recall making it.

> "American" Spanish rice

When I read that name I figured it meant the Rice-a-Roni version. I've
had it. Not my favorite.

> Stuffed bell peppers

It was a regular item when I was a kid. I've refused to eat any bell
peppers as far back as I can remember but I love stuffed cabbage leaves.

From your description further down the thread I'd have to say yes. I called
it Mexican flavor rice mess though. I used hamburger and onion, rice,
tomato sauce, canned green chilies and seasonings.

Yup. It depends on the diner though. If their chili is good the chili size
is good.

Around here you have to be careful what you order. Once I ordered a
"chili dog" and got a bun with chili, onions, mustard and cole slaw.
After I looked at the menu carefully I discovered that I got what I
ordered. Now I am careful to order a hot dog with chili, etc.

It's served both ways according to two different restaurants I frequent but
I'd go with Dan's observation as the default... Coco's, a formerly national
chain, had DA BEST!! Chili Size on the Left Coast!

Clan Ranger regularly prepares chili sizes but Daughter-unit Alpha will only
eat her chili size sans hamburger patty.

I beg to differ - in the 50's "Spanish Rice" as it was called did contain
hamburger at least where I grew up.

Here are a few examples;

Not in years and years. I'd rather have the meat and rice
mixed with chopped peppers and sauteed onions in a casserole
with good cheese on top, heated till bubbly.

American Chop Suey?

Chow Mein sandwich? (An old tradition among NE Cantonese restaurants.
Lots of chopped chicken, celery, bean sprouts and onions in a
pale, salty sauce, served over hamburger buns, very very soggy.
When I first had San Francisco Chinese food I thought I'd died and
gone to heaven. Szechuan, Mandarin, Hunan...WOW!)

Lobster, crab, or tuna (poor man's version) salad on a lightly toasted
hot dog roll? A luxury from my childhood, best in Maine overlooking the
ocean.

Codfish cakes? (Nobody made em like my dad. I can come close.)

Clam cakes? Jonny cakes? (Both a RI specialty)


Malassadas? (fried sweet bread dough, sometimes called doughboys)

Dang, that all brings back memories.
