I'm not a fan of bean soup.

We need to stop acting like the chili con carne that goes on top of beef or cheese enchiladas, is the same as actual chili meant to be eaten by the bowl.

My brother in law made "chili" last year, and put four full cans of four different types of beans in it. Then he got upset when I asked him when he was making the chili. He's from chicago. Not sure what all of you Texans' excuse is. Beans don't belong in chili.

sunday i made some of the famous "sahara chili" that won terlingua a few times, meat only, no other fillers. when it was time to eat my wife and son walked in and both of them said, "no beans?"

it was good, but i had it doctored up with some red onion, cilantro, and cheese.

next time it will have beans and some chunky diced tomato for sure.

That’s a good thing because I didn’t make any soup!

I have always liked chili both with and without beans, that is if its good chili. Being from FL, there weren't any rules at all about chili. Even, alligator chili.

Wolf brand with or without..
I don't care, just pass the crackers..

Some of y’all would put ketchup on a ribeye. SMH.

Depends on how many people you are feeding. Beans stretch it out a lot farther.

like not getting cheese on a burger....kidney beans for the win

with cheese its a cheeseburger, without its a hamburger,,,, its a simple difference but a big one if you dislike cheese as much as i do,,,,

[Artos]

OMG...it's like nachos without cheese now!!

The horror!!

[Traildust]

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.

Real Texas Chili Recipe!!!

½ POUND SUET
2 POUNDS LEAN BEEF SHOULDER
1-POUND LEAN PORK SHOULDER
¾-CUP FLOUR
1-TEASPOON SALT
½-TEASPOON PEPPER
3 ONIONS CHOPPED
6 CLOVES GARLIC, MINCED,
1-1/2 QUART BEEF STOCK OR CANNED BEEF BROTH
4 DRIED ANCHO PEPPERS*
1 DRIED PASILLA PEPPER*
1 DRIED CASCABEL PEPPER*
1-TABLESPOON CRUSHED CUMIN SEEDS OR GROUND CUMIN



FRY SUET IN CAST IRON KETTLE. REMOVE SUET AND DISCARD. CUT MEAT INTO ½-INCH CUBES. COMBINE FLOUR, SALT, PEPPER IN BROWN PAPER BAG. ADD MEAT AND SHAKE TO COAT. SAVE REMAINING FLOUR. SEAR FLOURED MEAT IN HOT FAT, STIRRING TO PREVENT STICKING, ADD ONIONS AND GARLIC; COOK AND STIR UNTIL SOFT. ADD BEEF STOCK OR BROTH AND BRING TO A BOIL; THEN REDUCE HEAT AND SIMMER SLOWLY WHILE PREPARING PEPPERS.

WASH PEPPERS UNDER COOL RUNNING WATER; REMOVE STEMS AND SEEDS. BLOOM IN CAST IRON SKILLET; PUT IN A SAUCPAN; COVER WITH WATER AND BOIL FOR 5 MINUTES. LET STEEP 10 MINUTES. LIFT OUT PEPPERS AND GRIND OR PUREE, ADDING 1-1/2 CUPS WATER IN WHICH PEPPERS WERE COOKED. ADD TO MEAT, COVER AND SIMMER 2-3 HOURS OR UNTIL MEAT IS TENDER. GRIND CUMIN SEEDS USING A MORTAR AND PESTLE OR A HEAVY SPOON IN A CUP; ADD TO CHILI. ADD SALT TO TASTE. MIX FLOUR SAVED FROM BROWNIG MEAT (ABOUT ¼ CUP) WITH COLD WATER; ADD TO CHILI AND COOK 3 TO 5 MINUTES TO THICKEN. MAKES ABOUT 2-1/2 QUARTS.

This is the only recipe that is remotely to real chili I've seen on this thread. The rest has been ground beef chili soup or hot dog toppings.

Just happened to see this on Twitter. Household makes two pots of chili because they can't agree on beans or no beans.

No we don't... We use it just the same with leftovers... Hot dogs, frito chili pie etc etc
