With beans, it’s chili con carne CON FRIJOLES....

Beans are good. Chili is good. So that means chili with beans is twice as good

Bean less chili = guisado

dogcatcher · 01-22-2021, 04:05 AM

Beans were not an issue until the Texas chili cookoffs started, then in Terlingua, Texas in 1967 the CASI rules banned beans. Now all the experts claim there never was beans in real chili. But there is no evidence to back up that claim.

Besides, who is important enough to tell anyone of us how to cook chili? Cook your chili your way, if the chili snob or slob doesn't like it, let the slob cook his own chili.

Beans have no place in chili because Jesus said so. And this is Texas.

Jesus Rodriguez maybe.

Chief Big Toe · 01-22-2021, 06:27 AM

Beans in CHILI! cut and dry, it just ain't right, unless your from up north,
as they say up north they call it 3 bean soup,

but
i have been known to blend some in the blender to use as a thickener a time or two,

just to see if someone would know the difference
after swearing they would be able to tell
and nope, he never knew it..

N.DaWoods · 01-22-2021, 06:47 AM

Since I don't like beans at all....ruining chili with them sounds like a bad idea. We had them so much growing up, I just can't do it.

Mr. Stickers · 01-22-2021, 06:48 AM

Is it FAT SIDE UP or FAT SIDE DOWN.......... Oh wait that's another conversation

I like Chili both ways however I will say If I'm putting beans in they are Pintos that I've already cooked & not out of a can..... Either way there is never any left overs at our house when the kids & Grandkids find out PAppy's making a pot of RED, they stay till it's gone

cva34 · 01-22-2021, 07:16 AM

Chili either way Great....But I put some pinto in most of time, not a lot though..Adds a little volume and makes em tooty...

oktx · 01-22-2021, 07:20 AM

Most back in the day added beans to make it go farther.

Texas Grown · 01-22-2021, 07:28 AM

Is chili powder that is put in chili not a ground pepper? And are pepers not a vegetable? As well as the other spices that flavor it?!

So, basically, your eating vegetable flavored meat anyway. Then why not add some beans, and make that meat go a little further?

I know of folks who add macaroni, or potatoes, or several other substances in rather than beans, or with beans.

The fish are biting, and there's hogs to be kill-t. Gotta go!

sotx · 01-22-2021, 07:50 AM

I am cool with beans in chili as long as you call it "Chili with beans" Dont go calling your chili, chili, if it has beans in it. On that note the only bean allowed in my opinion is pinto. Personally I never make chili, I make chili with beans.

Wood Rat · 01-22-2021, 07:54 AM

So why do they make chili beans for?

glen · 01-22-2021, 08:18 AM

Been to plenty of chili competitions- never seen a bean at one

Burntorange Bowhunter · 01-22-2021, 08:30 AM

Authentic Texas chili dies not have beans. Yankees make a version with beans.

Are you a Texan or a yankee.

The facts are simple. Your opinions don't mean much.

Sometimes I will make a pot of both beans and chili, that way everybody can be happy. And on occasion I will put a scoop of my beans in a bowl of my chili.

Fishndude · 01-22-2021, 08:42 AM

Chili with beans is awesome.

Provides some entertainment as well...about 4 hours later.

Oh and chili without beans is awesome also. Just not as entertaining.

How many of those who put beans in their chili, do so without using canned precooked beans?

They also used dried beef, or beej jerky as their beef. I’m willing to bet you don’t use beef jerky in yours....

I like beans in my chili and stewed tomatoes in my gumbo. I make and eat what I like and could care less if it's traditional or not just tasty.

Exactly. And their opinions don't mean any more than their stupid rules.

Beef is beef - quality used in chili is irrelevant....

But pair it with the right whiskey & I’d eat beef jerky chili too...

Chili (no beans) on spaghetti is very good!

Nobody here uses dried chili's?? I roast in cast iron to bloom then steep and blend to make a slurry for my chili. Also you don't use beans, tomatoes or any prepackaged garbage.

If I get a hankerin for some bean and meat mixture I go for the taco soup recipe on here. Otherwise I’d just as soon not have beans in my chili but it’s not a deal killer. I’ve eaten a lot of chili with beans in it that was good. Just not my preference.

I believe peppers are a fruit, not a vegetable.

Chili without beans is just hot dog topping.
