Chili? Love it? Hate it? Beans or no beans?

[HeatherC]

I love it! I made a big batch of chili today and it is simmering in the crockpot and I can’t wait for dinner.

I made mine today with bacon, ground beef, sausage, tomatoes, peppers, onion and celery and a mix of pinto and kidney beans. We definitely like the beans in our house.

Do you like it? Hate it? Beans or no beans? Feel free to share your favorite way of making it!

Planning to make a pot this weekend. Beans, definitely. No sausage in mine. I usually serve it over rice.

Chili does not have beans.

Ground turkey in mine. I add a couple of cans of Bush's chili beans along with tomatoes and seasonings.

 

[TippyThomas]

Sometimes I make it with beans and sometimes not. Just depends on my mood at the time. I do use ground turkey instead of beef as well.

My DH makes a pretty awesome pot of chili and it always has beans

I'm making chili tonight to take to my friend's birthday party tomorrow so this thread is very coincidental. Mine has ground turkey, bell peppers, diced tomatoes, dark red kidney beans and is served over rice. Everyone attending the party enjoys spicy food so I'm adding in a little bit of jalapenos and chipotle peppers.

Love it - prefer no beans, but won't pass up a good chili with beans as well.

Chili does not have beans.

We can agree to disagree.

I also make it with ground Turkey or chicken too. Today just happened to be ground beef. Every time I make it is a little different. So many ways to prepare it and I love them all.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I love beans and I love chili, but chili does not have beans.

Love chili. Made some last week.
No beans
Mine has ground beef, kielbasa, onion, chili powder, cumin, picante sauce, tomato sauce.
Top with cheese sour cream

I like a pot of normal chili but I really like Cincinnati chili (chili over spegehetti and topped with cheese and onions). I prefer no beans in a pot of chili but I can tolerate them.

Love chili! Always beans, otherwise you just have Coney sauce.

I make 2 batches, even when I ate meat. Now, one is meat/beans/onions/green peppers/celery. Mine is beans, onion, celery, sometimes sweet potato. But mine always has a ton of spicy peppers in it. I take my hot peppers in the summer and make into a salsa of sorts, of just those peppers. Then keep in the freezer in sections to throw into my chili throughout the winter. Fatalis, habaneros, jalapenos, reapers. I adore it SO much.

4 way with beans at Dixie Chili!

I prefer no beans. I have texture issues with beans when they're mixed with other things.

Love chili with beans. Plan on making a big pot sometime next week.

Love chili and it should never have beans.

This is not chili.
