Thick, rich and flavorful, chile is one of those dishes that top the comfort food charts. Try it on its own, or serve it with corn chips or warm tortillas. Chile is also tasty over rice, fries or potato wedges. Chile can also be used as a hot dog topping, which takes it to the next level. Last but not least, my favorite way to use chile is as Sloppy Joe meat, stuffed inside fresh rolls.
