Tried adding leftover chili to my morning oatmeal and the texture was a nightmare

I was out of milk last Tuesday so I figured cold chili from the fridge would be like a savory soup situation over oats, but it just turned into this weird gritty mush that tasted like a mistake. My spoon kept hitting beans and it felt wrong before 8am, like eating a dinner accident for breakfast. Has anyone else ever crossed the cereal soup line with chili or am I just crazy?

You gotta separate the chili from the oats. The beans and meat just sink and make everything grainy. Best move is to heat the chili up on its own and pour it over plain, cooked oats like a gravy. The cold chili straight from the fridge clumps up bad with hot oats too, that's a rookie mistake. Just treat it like a savory porridge with something like shredded cheddar or a fried egg on top instead of dumping it all in one bowl.

So just eat chili with a spoon like a normal person?
