Which? And Explain why

 

Beans!!! It's just what I'm used to from growing up. We added beans and ate it over rice. My wife makes fun of me for eating chili over rice. I thought everyone did until I got married. I asked my Dad about it and he said the rice and beans were cheap filler when they were poor. So I've ate it like that since I was a kid.

 

beans and rice! Just the way it was growing up in southern louisiana. just like biscuits and gravy and community coffee

 

There is no such thing as chili with beans! In Texas, that's a casserole.

 

A chili purist will shoot anyone caught putting beans in chili.

I use both dark red and ight red beans---but then again, I make turkey chiliand I make it rather on the spicy side.

PS---if you have ever been to Cinci they have this stuff called Skyline Chili that isserved with noodles.

 

The hard core CASA guys in Texas will draw and quarter you if you put beans in the chili.

Me, I'm easy. I like it either way.

 

I have always been a firm believer in the fact that chili does not have beans in it. Recently I have started puting beans in mine. It is cheap filler and when you are feeding five growing kids you need a huge pot

 

Chili by definition does not include beans..

Beans don't bother me in so-called chili, I'll eat it up and enjoy it, but it's NOT chili.. It's a stew..

If you've ever had a bowl of red you'd understand...

I do believe that the folks who include beans in their chili recipe are the same ones who pronounce pecan pie "pee-can" pie..

They just don't get it at all..

 

thats the same way i eat it, except with some tostito chips also

 

I always put beans in my chili. It's the way my mom did it growing up and the way I've done it for 26 years now.

 

Real chili, no beans. The term chili con carne means peppers with meat, not beans.

Exactly how I've had it all my life, with dark kidney beans.

And yes, I say pee-can.

 

As I explained previously, that is not chili, that is a chili casserole. Nothing wrong with a chili casserole as long as you know what you're eating. But, kidney beans? Yuck! Add some potatoes and make a stew!

Chili is chili and you can top it off with chopped onion, cheese or more peppers and maybe some Fritos. Any more and you have a casserole.


The pee-can goes a long way explaining the whole problem!
