Poll: Do beans belong in chilli?

No but I like mask

No


That's some yankee idea.

No self respecting Texan would ever put beans in chili.

It depends on what you're doing with the chili. For hotdogs, nope. If you're serving in a bowl, yes.

Kidney Beans only!

Where's the poll, shill???

If there is no beans it is not chilli. I have had Texas chilli and it's just spicy meat with sauce.

Better than bean soup with very little meat.

Only wimps cut their chili with beans. Then they cuts fart for the next 24 hours.

Beans, Hells No. A few Rib Tips, YES!

I like butter beans and don't wear a mask

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Hell they wouldn't even think about it!

All beans need to be soaked in water for 24 hours before cooking. The beans become much more digestible after soaking. Rinse the soaked beans well and cook them with one tablespoon of baking soda added to the water.

Yes 100% ................ in what Yankee's consider chili.

Depends on the use of the chili.

If the chili is a meal, then yes!

If the chili is to be used on a hot dog, no way.

I don't really care either way if someone else cooks it for me.

I’m a Southerner and chili and red beans go together, chili without beans is called sloppy joe mix!!

LOL you mean kidney beans or brown beans with pork fat?

So I take it that you don't enjoy cooking for other people?

beauty is in the eye of the beholder

You dont put beans in chili,
You never water good whiskey down.



ask Ray Wylie Hubbard.

... and that chili meat best be cubed beef.

Armadillo!

Haven't has armadillo chili, but deer chili is awesome.

I make five bean chili with Carrol Shelby's chili mix.

It's colon dynamite.

the belong more than meat does.... and I do not support face mask laws.

I like grilling and smoking meat for other people. I'll handle the meat. They can handle the stove.

Try it with beef tongue. I think you'll like it. Historically it sure was used in the southwest.

Masa flour is a fine thickner and adds a unique taste. Many chili cooks add it in competitions.

I see nothing wrong with using pinto beans. It ain't originally Tex-Mex anyway. Chili originally has a Caribbean origin by folks who visited Latin America, and the Mexicans started changing it to suit local tastes. Whatever chili is now, probably is not like it originally started out. That is what cooks do.

That is like burgoo. When it started out, it had to have wild game in it.

If I go to the effort to make it, no beans. Meat + chilis + beer.

But, I love a good meat & bean chili too.

Chili is good with baked potatos and noodles.
