Let's start over......
Oh my goodness! You just stepped in it kid. Chili is chili in Texas. That means no beans. You start adding stuff like beans, you're making a stew. Might as well add corn and potatoes. Chili is good beef, lots of seanings and peppers. That's it. If you want chili w/beans, that is having vegetables with your chili.
