Chili Makin’ - Beans or No?

[robtattoo]

Oooh.... speaking of stew meat: I rarely buy meat, 99% of my meat is game, but substituting beef Carne Picada instead of ground is awesome.

My wife uses "some" kidney beans but most of the chili is bison. Her buffalo chili is unbeatable.

Man, I might try the chocolate in there.

Bitter or dark ONLY. Sweet with F it up, IMO. Think a good Mexican red or black mole sauce. Any sugars should come from caramelization of the onions and tomatoes as it cooks down. Just my philosophy as I don't care for sweet chili. Some folks do.

Holy cow. Never would’ve thought a chili/bean thread could blow up like this!

Dark Chocolate??!!
That only goes good with a red wine! Lol

My folks are here visiting and I mentioned the dark chocolate. Mom immediately recalled the Mexican restaurant in town we used to go to.

A dark lager goes great in chili. A bottle of negro Modelo is a good option.

For sure. Alcohol is a great meat tenderizer/flavor enhancer

I prefer no beans but my wife does 50/50 kidney and navy but what she does different is she uses ground beef, elk steak, and hot sausage for meats and it makes for a very flavor full chili.

All this chili talk today and the weather here, I just had to make a batch of elk chili. It was darn good too.

Man I hate beer in Chili. Even a weakly hopped beer like negro Modelo would wreck it for me. Love hops in beer, hate it in Chili. Like to try yours to see if a good Chili with beer is different than what I've had from others or made myself.

I don’t like high hops beer in general. I usually cook with German lagers, Miller High Life or Guinness.
Guinness stew is my favorite and id recommend starting there.

Light on kidney or pinto beans

 

[coloyooper]

Red chili and white chicken chili, yes.

Green chili, no.

More like DenverGringoBoy am I right???

 

[coloyooper]

Garbonzo beans (chickpeas) or green beans, but no “traditional” beans in my chili’s.

You know the difference between a garbanzo bean and a chickpea?

 

[Glendon Mullins]

LOL ya'll on here arguing about what chili is best but every recipe i seen posted using a chili packet to make the chili....COME ON MAN!!! ya'll r better than that

 

[cjdewese]

Agreed, ALWAYS beans.

I use Pinto, Kidney and Black beans all in my chili.

 

[Gen273]

I like a wide variety of beans mixed in my chili.
