If you’ve ever ordered a burger “all the way” in the Piedmont area of North Carolina, you got this kind of chili, with mustard and onions. A Mama Peggy classic! This is the recipe for the legendary sandwich chili that Mama Peggy served to customer at Peggy’s Restaurant in Kings Mountain, North Carolina for almost 30 years.
I didn’t know if we’d ever get to taste Mama’s sandwich chili again, but Victoria hit it dead-on (after some trial and error, I know). I ate at Peggy’s Restaurant all of my life until the place shut down, and I’m willing to declare that this is as close as you’ll ever get to Mama Peggy’s chili. Mama never made it at home much, so I thought it was possible I’d never get to taste it again. Kudos!
