I'm dubious about the rice has well, though I ate the late lamented Chili-Up's (a local chain wiped out by the Great Recession) Pork N'Tomatillo over rice for years as a weekly lunch.
The one addition in my family chili is a different starch: thin spaghetti or speghettini pasta. I know it's wrong at a fundamental level, but my folks were introduced to chili via an apparently short-lived fad in the 1950's Mid-West of the US for "chili bars" - fast food restaurants where you'd purchase a mild, generic chili and add a variety of toppings and other things. Pasta was a cheap filler, and so that's what my Mom knew as chili.
As a new-to-California second grader, I was utterly crushed when I was invited over to a neighbor's to have chili for dinner and it did not have spaghetti in it.
I still like and make my mother's recipe, but I would say that the addition would probably not work at all if you recipe calls for much heat from the peppers. Works well with mild chili powder's, though.

That's basically Cincinnati-style chili. It can be made into a wonderful dish with the right spice blend. But as I sort of hinted at above, I think you do both the Mexican-influenced chilis of the South and Southwest and Cincinnati chili a disservice if you place them in the same category; they just strike me as different dishes.
