Loved these! Perfect with the chilly weather we are finally getting! Can be made with different flavored chili as well!

I made this vegan using Bocca Crumbles in the chili instead of the beef.I used soy cheese and soy sour cream! It was really good!

Great! This really reminded me of when I used to live in Texas where these were very popular. Thanks for sharing this quick and fun treat. Made for Spring PAC 2014.

Today DD#1, the nurse, made this for herself and me. I can only hope she'll make this for us tomorrow as well. I like that she does home visits. *PAC Spring 2013*
