Serve in a bowl with Cheddar cheese on top and a dollop of sour cream placed in the center. Diced onions complete the garnish. Comments: Everybody knows there is no such thing as a 19-alarm fire. Why, that would mean babies, lifeguards, bartenders, everyone would have to show up to fight it! However, this recipe from the Chicago Fire Department might actually require 19 alarms. If you don”t know what a No. 10 can is, figure on just under a gallon.
