Oh man, it has to have beans. We like a combination of black beans and kidney beans.
Beans!!!!!!
I like beans for sure, all of 'em but must have red chili beans for me.
Chili with no beans is great for chili dogs, of course!
Putting beans in chili is a hanging crime in Texas.
You'd have to call it something else if you put beans in it.
umm it's spaghetti topping without beans.
chili means beans and chili's.
As a Texican born and bread, my ol' Daddy always said. "Son, always remember that putting beans in chili is a direct path to Hell." I was a judge at the big world championship goat cookoff in Mason, Texas years ago and there happened to be a smaller chili cookoff going on over at the fairgrounds on the same weekend. Friend of mine from over in Rocksprings was rooting around in my pickup bed and I asked him what tool was he lookin' for. He said the judges over at the chili doings was looking for a rope to hang some dumb yank who entered chili with beans--indicated that beans might kill or at least cripple a real chilihead.
Venison.. no beans..
Dang Texans think they invented chili or somethin........
Beans I say, it's gotta have beans. I ain't makin warm salsa
Gotta have beans
Raisin' the question of "beans or no beans?" has been known to start fistfights in certain parts of the country so I doubt we're really gonna come to a resolution here but, for the record, the recipe I've been cookin' up for the last 30+ years was semi-stolen from a 'Great Texas Chili Cook-Off' winner and DOES contain beans. (Over the years, my version has won a couple of local cook-offs, too.)
Bill
Real chili ain't got no beans! Beans are good eatin', and should have chili peppers in them, but it ain't chili iffin it has beans!
Chili.....beans, tomatoes, peppers and spices
Chili con Carne.....above ingredients with meat added
Regardless of what some "popular opinion" says, you CAN'T have chili without beans, but you can have meat in your chili. Chili being a Mexican dish that by far predates the Texas republic negates any texas claim to fame. And being a mexican dish, hence "con carne" or "with meat", means it was added to the recipe.
Next question Wilco?
Beans. Definitely beans. http://i839.photobucket.com/albums/z...ot_stirrer.gif < Outlaw chili maker... uses beans! :mrgreen:
Gotta have beans.
And cornbread. I guess the question should be sweet cornbread or regular?
Chili and beans go great together, beans go on the side.
Well, I confess, I lived many years in Texas, BUT MY CHILI HAS BEANS!! (DougGuy runs like h*** now)! :bigsmyl2:
We use a mix, light red kidney beans, black beans, whatever we see that looks like it wants to go home and be in chili. Venison YES, and MUST have a tad of jalapeno vinegar, just gives it a slight 'ting on the tongue. My all-time favorite way to serve it, is with grilled cheese sandwich made on that multi-grain bread, and dill pickle slices on the side.
Gf made some North Carolina Sweet Potato Cornbread that is awesome, I think it would work great with chili. Recipe here: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...=1#post3021812
I hate beans all beans. I fail right out the gate with the shtf prepping. because I will not stock up on beans. the only use I can come up with for beans is to feed them to the hogs so I can make bacon.
so no beans in my chili.
