Maybe a little repetitive - but I make a tamale pie with leftover vegetarian chilli. Make a simple cornmeal crust. Add cheddar cheese to it or add shredded cheese as another layer of flavor before topping with cornmeal crust. Sliced black olives on the crust make things pretty.
Frito Chili Pie! Chili dogs of course. Or you can plop it into some queso and turn it into dip. I really like the shepard's pie idea - you could also make the topping more cornbread or polenta-ish for a really twisted shepherds pie (vaqueros pie? Hmmm ...)
I love left over chili on baked potatoes, both sweet potatoes and russets. With a little cheese to melt on and some pico de gallo or hot sauce, it's a meal.
Sloppy Joes if you cook it down a little. Kid food that I love. I would say freeze but I just lose things in the freezer and they are never heard from again.
Add to nachos. Or put in skillet, drop in a few eggs, and cook the eggs in the chili. Or use it as a pasta sauce. Or put it in a casserole dish, top with mashed potatoes, and make a chili shepherds pie. Or put it in some zipper bags and freeze for the days when you want chili but don't have time to make it.
