    Looks delicious.

    To avoid having neighbors call a HAZ/MAT team out because of the toxic gas escaping from your residence add a large hand full of either fresh or dried parsley to the mix.

    Been adding it for over 30 years and never even a squeek since.

    Don't like being a fence sitter, but I like it both with and without beans. Depends on my mood and what kind of meat is going into the chili. Venison chili should not have beans in it; beef or turkey can.

    Use chili (no beans) to make a quick and simple dip.

    4 cups refried beans
    2 cups chili
    Heat thoroughly in a big fry pan
    Turn off heat
    Throw in 2 cups HOT (as in spicy) salsa
    2/3 cup mexican blend grated cheese
    Stir it in, scoop out a bowl full.
    15 to 20 minutes to great bean dip.

    Like mine with a little kick, so I add a half cup diced jalapeno.

    We keep homemade chili canned on the shelf and some frozen.

    Would your government EVER steer you wrong?

    You have obviously never been in a home 4 hours AFTER a real bowl of chilli was served for supper.

    In some homes it has been reported that not only were the walls turned to a green color but the wall covering actually pealed off of the walls.

    Chile technically is salsa (pepper sauce). Con carne means with meat (is chili even without meat). They don't even get around to saying con frijoles, but they (mexicans) do put beans and everything else but rocks in it just as we do. It makes a great stuff to throw almost any leftover into when you can't figger out what to do with it. I like it con carne, frijoles, and over rice. Or on crackers. The jalapenos go in whilst making salsa rojo.
    We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).

    Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.

    We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!

    Deer camp+ chili+ way to much beer at night... I slept in my van one night to escape the stench, my sisters joined me! Mom swore at us for abandoning her to the stink for the night but she said she was not sleeping outside in the cold.

    There is a certain amount of regional pride going on in this Chillie debate.To some it is a sore point and they need to cool it.

    Cool it? This is one of those threads that just begs for the input that is being posted. Everyone has their right to their own opinion. "chili" is the topic being discussed. "chile" is a vegetable. Fact. "chillie"?...... Dress warmer.

    I think you might be, in a polite and diplomatic way, referring to Texans and the pride they take in what they believe constitutes a genuine and traditional pot of chili. The vigorous and deep seated pride that Texans have in their State, their history and their customs is in fact what draws older, more traditional Americans (like myself) to wish we could become 'adopted' or 'reborn' Texans.

    That's what I was thinking. Anyone who would eat beans with his chili would vote for obummer.
