I like it without beans personally but I don't think anyone cares enough to get particularly heated about it.

Texan here, we don't consider it chili unless it has at least 2 types of bean

>>19787909
I like both styles///Texas steak no bean and beans added chili. If it's for chili dogs, beans is the way. If it's something you want thick steak chunks and chili forward, no beans. They can both exist.

>>19787909
If you’re putting Heinz baked beans in your chilli then you should be mouth raped by a horse’s cock.

>>19787909
>chili for hot dogs
no
>chili as the dish
yes

>>19787919
Texas chili is chili colorado they're taking credit for it like jews in cowboy hats

I usually put beans in my chili, but I am going to make traditional texas chili.

>>19787958
>chili colorado
>has tomatoes in it
not real chili

>>19787909
>Do beans belong in chili?
"Texas Red" should just be steak, dried pepper, maybe some onion that's it.
Texas Red is not chili but rather a style of chili and really not that popular of a style if we're being honest because the only place you'll ever find it is at a chili cookout

>>19787977
There aren't tomatoes in chili colorado

>>19787909
There are multiple styles of chili. Some have beans and some don't.

Chili made with stew meat, like a Texas chili or a Chili Colorado do not contain beans.
Homestyle chili is made with ground meat and beans. This is what most people think of when someone says they're making chili.
Chili sauce or chili used as a topping contains finely ground meat and almost never has beans. I would claim it is a mistake to add beans to chili sauce.

>>19787996
yea there are just like enchilada sauce

>>19788009
Sure there are

>>19788026
Shalom. Also take a shower, you guys stink of Beard BO, giving the rest of us a bad name.

>is the chili going to be the main dish served as a meal?
Beans please
>is the chili going to be used as a topping, or as a side dish for a potluck where there's other foods accompanying it
No beans please
At the end of the day anybody who gets unreasonably upset about a minor perceived culinary faux pas like beans in their chili is a pathetic cretin.

>i'll end my argument with "everyone that disagrees with me is wrong"
Where's my soyjak collection

>>19788331
Do you get unreasonably upset over minor culinary faux pas?

>>19788356
Yes. In fact, I've been stood trial 3 times for beating my wife for cooking poorly

>>19787909
Beans go in chili if it's for poor people who need cheap filler.
Beans do not go in chili for people who can afford to eat well.

>>19788363
Are you Romanian?

>>19788371
Chili without beans is a Sloppy Joe.

>>19788371
I'm not poor and I like beans in chili.

Anyone put corn in chili? People in northern New England do it during the early fall sweet corn harvest.

>>19788410
You think you're not poor, but you will always be poor as long as you enjoy beans in chili.

>>19788371
"People who can afford to eat well" don't have to buy dried chilies and braise cheap stew meat in it for hours. Chili con carne isn't some fancy high class meal, in fact it was basically invented as cheap frontier sloppa for cowboys.

I almost always put red and black beans in mine. I've tried making beanless chili and it's alright, it takes a bit longer to prepare and it doesn't really taste 'better,' different maybe. Made this pot last Sunday with lots of fresh cherry tomatoes and red bell peppers from my garden. It was pretty good, I'll probably make another pot this weekend, post recipe recommendations.

It’s only chili if it has beans

>>19788464
looks fucking dreadful

>>19788263
No I'm Catholic not some Texas chili thief

>>19788583
probably because it hasn't cooked yet.

>>19788460
The first Texas chilis were a form of boiled pemmican.

Combine beef fat/meat, chilis, salt and pound it all together in a mortar and pestle.
It's an unappetizing trail ration that got boiled down into something edible.

This is why the beans arguments are so fucking dumb. Chili Is already different from when it was first cooked out on the range. Hardly anybody eats the original chili anymore because it fucking sucks.

>>19788748
you're supposed to brown the meat before you put the other ingredients in.

I'm the only one that knows how to do chili right, and it doesn't matter whether I use beans or not.

>>19787915

>>texan here

opinion discarded

>>19787909
what compel someone to make the same shit thread over and over again

>>19788780
This is false history. The first chilis were made by mexican women in the new mexico/texas/chihuahua area using fresh meat and dried peppers.
shut your stupid ass up. why did you even fabricate a false story?

>>19788780
no the argument is stupid because the vast majority of beanfags have never even eaten a real chili before. they make stupid comments like "chili without beans is just sloppy joe filling" which is on the same level of clueless as "goulash without macaroni is just meat sauce."

>>19788831
lol seething sloppy joe fag

>>19788797
It's pork, the other white meat, dumbass.

>>19788874
you can still brown pork, shit for brains

>>19788780
>The first TEXAS chilis were this way...
>>19788825
>FALSE, the first MEXICAN chilis were this way...
It's all so tiresome.

>>19788891
It 'is' browned, frijolita.

>>19787909
If chili is the main dish, then beans are fine. If chili is a topping then no beans.

>>19788900
Take a nap and stop posting, being stupid must be hard for you

>>19787909
In chili con carne, no
In normal chili (ground beef, tomato base), sure.

>>19788921
If you had a point, you never made it, and I doubt you ever will.

>>19788903
That's not browned. When you brown meat you're creating a maillard reaction just like searing a steak that turns it dark brown. Your meat is basically steamed in its own juices. Left is ground beef that is fully cooked and edible, but not browned. Right is browned. Yes, I know yours is pork but that is irrelevant to my point.

>>19788937
no one is impressed. we can follow the comment chain back to your stupid first claim about chili being pemican.

>>19788956
NTA, I've never even used pemican before. Good luck with your future crusades against nothing.
