Chili - With beans or without?

[buffettbride]

I'm talkin' chili con carne (not green chili which is deserving of it's own thread).

Growing up in Colorado, there's always beans in the chili. I didn't find out until recently, that beans weren't standard as part of chili con carne (you know, ground beef, stewed tomatoes...)

Oh no way!!!!!!

Always homemade in the slow-cooker! Half my family is hispanic so they'd whoop me if I used chili from a can!!

Beaners - and they do give me toots

[rednekkPH]

No beans!

[Wino you know]

With beans.
WITH beans!
WITH beans!

And tabasco sauce. And Worchester sauce. And ground pepper. And crushed red peppers.
DAMN RIGHT!

I make it this way & the song title "Waiting For the Next Explosion" comes to mind.

Haha! I hear ya (literally!!). We made a big batch earlier this week. Not too much exploding, but I swear I need to buy stock in Zantac and Tums!

I always spend the next day apologizing to my a.h.

I like my chili thick, meaty, very few beans, with spagetti in it. I know. The hubby doesn't like spagetti in his, so I put a small plate with it on the table and doctor up mine. I also use Beano--good stuff, just put a few drops in the first spoonful, you can't taste it. Saves a lot of unpleasantness later.

With beans (beans, beans the musical fruit ...)
But they gotta be pintos or great northerns - no kidney beans (bleech).

And jalepenos

It is not even chili without beans.


It is just mush.

With, without.. Doesn't matter..

Chili without beans = Manwich.

The wife is hispanic also ( Christy) she has an old family recipe and she aways hate me the next day home made Chili is awalys better the next day, just right amount of aging - Norma also make a home made chili sauce thats to die for very hot, she is an excellent cook.

beans are for silly people

My brother in law won't eat beans of any kind. And that freaks me out, my sister makes chili without beans and that's just wrong. Just recently I found that beans weren't a main ingridient in chili, too. That's the only way I've ever had it. It's wrong without beans.

With ground beef AND pinto beans!!!!!!! None of that ground turkey bs!!! I like to freeze it and let it "age for a while".... just like lasagna or spaghetti sauce or gumbo........they improve with age, Gives the seasoning and spices a chance to blend properly.

Sorry Garry... I can't eat anything that hot....I don't hate my stomach or my a.h. that much..... But if you want it hot.....I can make it so HOT I don't think you would ever tell me it wasn't hot enough again......

I cook so everyone can eat it.....if they want it hotter .... well Tobasco ain't got nothing on some this stuff..... I like Trappey's Bull La. Hot Sauce. It has a nice bite but not that much heat, but it does has the cumulative heat that will eventually work on you.

Then when ready to eat add some chopped Vidalia onion perhaps, or at least some shredded cheddar cheese on top.
