This was super good. Took this to a cookout instead of chili and it was a real hit with my friends. Some had never heard of chili pie, but they all enjoyed it.I used homemade chili, this was very easy to put together and very filling for sure.

Hi Riffraff,I make sonic chili pie all the time.but never thought to put onions and tomatoes on it,WOW did that ever dress it up.Loved the taste of the sweet onions on it.and liked the tomatoes too.I didn't use the water, so it was not soaked up.just crispy.Thanks,Darlene

That Emaw knows her stuff!! She made some Texans very happy. My mother use to make this while we were growing up in Fort Worth. All of the flavors really do taste so good together. I made this just like Emaw said and we were lovin' every bite. Thanks for sharing her wonderful recipe, riff!!

I loved that this recipe was so simple. Made it just as is, no stirring! I used cheddar cheese because we don't care for american cheese. I will be making this for football season I think it will be great for the guys.
