Notes
The Full House, Hot Tamales covered with chili, is famous in Knoxville, Tennessee. During my college days at Tennessee, I used to drop by the local corner market to get mine to go.
As always when serving chili, you may want to let guests top the chili with sour cream, cheese, jalapenos, black olives and or sliced green onions.
