Block chili is homemade chili frozen into blocks. A small time grocer or market freeze chili to sell to people who want to eat homemade chili without having to make it. It does not taste anything like canned chili. At least this is done in southern states like Oklahoma. If you can't find block chili, just make a batch of chili and throw the other ingredients in (from Grandpa Stew). You can use canned chili but it won't taste the same. If you use canned chili, add 1 can of hot dog chili sauce to the mix.
