Chili is better with beans. Fuck off with your purist bullshit. If something can be improved, it should be, and beans improves chili. Are you going to tell me the first way anything is made is the way it should be made forever?

I got some questions related to soaking beans overnight.

I'm currently soaking my beans in a big pot. Should I put the pot in the fridge or keep them out on the counter to soak overnight?

Second, I read that for every pound of beans, you should use ten cups of water. The pot wasn't big enough to hold so much water. I'd say there's about three pounds of beans and about fifteen cups of water. How will this affect the soaking?

Room temperature is fine.

The beans will soak of the water quickly. You could check back in a few hours and add more water, or use 2 or 3 pots with ample amounts of water.

True "cowboy" chili included everything they could carry, afford, and find along the trail. So dead cattle cut into pieces often the size of your pinky nail or even smaller, dried provisions, thickened french-style with a roux-like concoction made of fat and flour, peppers, jesuit's tea to mask rotten meat, any game meat they could shoot (rabbits, birds, snakes, deer, armadillo).

Texans are just pretending they're tough frontiersmen and not modern day park sallys with no link to their heritage.

My question is, are their any good recipes for chili with beans.... where the beans are maybe ground up or cooked so long they are mush?

I fucking hate everything about beans, but when I make chili I do get complaints that there are no beans in it. I don't care about purism or anything like that, I, personally, just hate beans so fucking much. How can I include beans in chili but still enjoy it without autistically picking out every bean in the bowl?

>where the beans are maybe ground up or cooked so long they are mush?

In a lot of bean stews, you usually put a third of the bean and vegetable mixtures into a blender and use that blend mush as part of the broth element.

if you cook beans long enough, they should pop and turn into mush. If you want them to be mushier, put like half of them in a blender and blend them, then add them back into the pot.

Cut two or three onions fine dice and add to the pot with either 5-7 assorted minced peppers of choice, or rehydrate peppers and mince them as best you can (include the water). Simmer with enough water to cover everything, it's okay to add more to account for evaporation, for around six hours. Then you can chuck in some oregano, it makes a good substitute for the trail herb they used to use but crush it a little more if you're using dried. After about thirty minutes, dried herbs need time, take it off the heat and throw in some very finely sliced beef and allow the residual heat to cook it leaving you with tender slivers.

This should result in an extremely thick onion and pepper soup with tender beef portions.

I've made this exact recipe and can confirm it tastes great. The chili paste is a combo of dried chilis rehydrated and then blended smooth. The dish is rather expensive per serving compared to a chili with beans so I'd save it for guests or a special occasion. I served mine with cast iron skillet cornbread (no sugar in cornbread) and some crema with cilantro and lime juice.

Chili is literally just a ground beef and bean stew. Other than having at least some jalapenos or chili powder, you can add whatever the fuck you want. Corn is pretty common; some autists even serve it with cornbread, which is honestly pretty disgusting.

You don't need to be a purist to know that beans are garbage-tier foodstuff that should only be added if you're trying to fill more stomachs on a budget. Beans detract from the flavor of chili and give it an off-putting texture.

Chili is almost always eaten with some kind of carb, dumb europoor. Some people have it with cornbread, flyovers have it with fucking pasta, hicks throw on some fritos, and traditionalists with patrician taste eat it with rice. A plain bowl of chili is fine too, but the rice turns it into a meal.
