For those of you who know and love Steak 'n Shake, here's the secret to the chilli-3 ways:

Make some chilli and spaghetti noodles (I like Hormel w/beans). When it's done, put some in your bowl, pour a mound of catsup on top (about 2 tblspns) and a couple drops of Worchestershire. Stir it up.....BANG! Chilli-3 ways.

Taste exactly like Steak 'n Shakes.

    I love getting a double cheeseburger with fries and a milkshake (or better yet a vanilla malt) from Steak 'n Shake, but I've never heard of chilli-3 ways. Is that just like their regular chilli? I've had that, and it is actually pretty good (I don't normally like chilli or anything resembling soup).

    I also like to put their little octagonal crackers in my shake! :p

    You put the crackers in your milkshake??? Never heard of that. I grew up on Steak 'n Shake in St. Louis. They don't have any in Washington DC.
    Chili 3 ways is just that. Noodles (1), sauce (2) and chili (3).
    Steve, I am going to try your receipe for Chili 3 ways this week. I can't wait!

    We have them here in Pittsburgh. Their shakes are great! The strawberry shake is made with fresh fruit. It's great especially this time of year when strawberries are in season.

    I like the Cincinnati chili. Get it 3, 4, 5 or 6 way. Love those toppings all over a plate of spaghetti.

    Damn, now I'm hungry!

    Yup. For some reasone, I really like the texture that mixture gives. For instance, not too long ago I was pretty hungry for a snack, but definitely not a meal, so I got a milkshake from Steak 'n Shake and got a bag of those crackers, too. Get a spoonfull of milkshake, put a cracker in it, and viola. I think it's really good.

    I also like to grab four or five of their long fries and dip them in my milkshake, too.

    I know, I'm weird. Everybody makes fun of me for doing that.

    I'm all about Steak 'n Shake, but their fries blow....

    prob the worst out there and what is it?.... $1.79 to add them to your burger?!?

    the 3-way after a night's "merriment" is manna from heaven

    btw fries and shakes are perfect bedfellows IMO
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    maybe I'm more turned off by the add-on cost; I always feel that there is a Steak 'n Shakedown going on when I upgrade:D

    ok.. i did make the chili three way last night.. and believe it or not.. it wasn't half bad. a little light on flavor though. if you could kick it up with maybe spicy chili then it would be better.

    I'd make it again... in about a year down the road. It certainly won't become a staple in my house though. :p

    I worked at the Steak n Shake in Fairview Hts IL (STL area) in 1979. I worked in the back doing dishes and food prep. That was one of the things that cemented the need to go to college!
