When we have "chili night" we fix a few sides. Some of us like chili fritoes (that's fritoes with chili poured over it); some like chili and mashed potatoes -- either a bowl of chili with a scoop of mashed potatoes dropped on top OR mashed potatoes with chili on top; we also have buns for those who want to make a sloppy Joe.
