Age old Question

[Radtexan]

Got a big pot of my Texas Red chili going...In some parts round here i could be strung up for even thinking about it but...........................


Beans or NO beans ?

 

[Jig Man]

It ain't chili if ya put beans in it.

 

[smalljaw]

For bowl chili it has to have beans but to put on burgers or dogs the beans are left out.

 

[AtticaFish]

The magical fruit!!!!! Yum. Beans are a must in our household. Then again, wife prefers vegetarian chili, so i'm used to eating veg's where a lot would question it. Roasted veggies on cast iron over hot coals has actually become one of my absolute favorite meals. I know..... bit crazy.

Got have beans unless it't on a hot dog.

linked wurst of any kind need no beans. I do like beans and chili with wurst of any kind and a dark beer. Other wise I will have to agree that for bowl chili or Frito pie it has got to have beans in it. Rad I think that the rest of the country even looks at chili different than us Texans. Mid west chili is bland compared to what we eat in Deep east Texas. Our chili is bland compared to what they eat in the DFW area and am sure that the chili further south of us is hotter too.Very regional type of food..

I am with the others that said it......If on a dog or burger, no beans needed. However, in a bowl BEANS all the way.

Get the rope!!!

 

[Jig Man]

If ya'll like your chili with beans so much, why do you take em out ???

 

[Fatman]

Cause you Texans don't have any taste buds left!!!!!!!!!LOL

 

[Jig Man]

Can't argue with ya about that FM, but it could be the crown too. But your missin it, I didn't say I didn't like beans. Its just that when you add them to chili, its no longer chili. It's Chili-N-Beans... Oh yea, caught another 2lbr this mornin...

 

[Radtexan]

I wouldnt always admit it,but I normally do put the beans in ...Lat night yall were so slow in helping me make my decision I didnt get to add them in time..... Went the true Texas way....It was ok but I still prefer em...

 

[Hawnjigs]

Definitely regional - never even seen chili without beans.

 

[Lost Pole]

As long as its spicy n hot, I don't need the beans. If its a sweet chili, add the beans.

 

[Ron Don]

I'll stick with gumbo

 

[Fatman]

My wife puts kidney beans in ours and still calls it chili!!!!!! so who knows!!!!!LOL

 

[StumpHunter]

I don't call what I make chili I call it chili beans. It does tend to be on the hot side but no one complains.

 

[ScottV]

I prefer red beans and rice. No beans = No poots. That ain't no fun.

 

[JUNGLEJIM1]

I like it both ways myself. Ronnie, I like gumbo too,eating jambalaya right now.

 

[flounder pounder]

they should string you up for even thinking about it
