The Chili Poll: How do you like your chili?

[HighOnHendrix]

beans in chili is fine, but if you want to have some chili, come to Texas and get real chili with no beans.


real chili, aka Texas Chili, has no beans!!

It's not real chili if it gots no beans. That's like pizza without pepperoni! And for the record, I like my chili on fire!!!!!!!

chili con carne is the official dish of Texas, and original Texas-style chili contains no beans. Chili cook-offs that I've been to usually don't even allow beans. lol

Didn't mean to resurrect an old thread. Just saw it in the similar threads thing and voted on it

Three years since we've talked chili?!

Southwest chili; deer meat, black beans, corn, chopped tomatoes w/ green chiles, and lime juice.
Or
Chili verde, roasted tamitillos, salsa verde, white beans, chicken or my preference seared pork tenderloin.

Only in Texas would people name their food after the state they live in. That's like Mexicans in Mexico calling their food "Mexican food"...FYI it's just called food there.

Here is my Southwest deer meat chili, no soup here.

The biggest improvement in my chili came when I stopped using store-bought ground beef and started buying chuck roasts and chopping it up myself. Having larger chunks of beef (pea to marble- sized) browned nicely beforehand really adds to the beefy flavor and meaty texture. I think ground beef sometimes just falls apart and loses something. Maybe our local supermarket just grinds its meat too fine...

I find the same thing, in the picture above I take the ground deer meat but when I brown it I make sure it stays in larger chunks, and I minimize stirring so it doesn't break up. My wife bought some store ground chuck and made chili a week before, by the time she finised it was minced meat pieces.

I prefer with beans, specifically, with a limited amount of kidney beans

I think I am going to make some home made chilli this Saturday. This thread has inspired me to do so.

I agree. I love Chili and have never made it from scratch before. Might give it a try...

The only time I make chilli is when I put some ground beef in a can of Bush's Baked Beans and spice it up and throw in a little BBQ Sauce (I call it sweet chilli ) Or I make some chilli cornbread with a can of Hormel and some Jiffy Cornbread mix.
