Physical Fitness FACT: Chilli without beans ain’t Chilli !!!!

[kthomas]

I happen to like beans in chili. So does my wife, who grew up in Texas.

I like a variety of textures in chili, and beans certainly help with that. I also think it's important to have diced up meat (such as steak, or better yet leftover prime rib) in combination with ground beef. Wild game sounds like a great protein as well - but I think doing the diced/cubed meat along with ground is important for texture.

For spices, salt, pepper and New Mexico chili powder. Keep it simple, let the great flavors stand out without too much competition. Other additions are beer and roasted tomatoes.

I like to cook chili on either charcoal or wood coals in a cast iron dutch oven. Time is important, the flavors need to come out and blend. Absolutely minimum of 4 hours, but more is better.

Just because you're from Texas doesn't mean you have good taste in chili to be fair.

No doubt. Texas is 15-minutes away from flippin’ to Full Blue Commie. I spent more time in Austin then I care to admit. Whole state is filled with gender-fluid trannies with unshaved pits.

Basically, you just proved my point. Thanks for the assist!

Hey I'm from Texas. And it ain't chili without beans!

 

[akmike47]

Hey I'm from Texas. And it ain't chili without beans!

But it’s not chili then, it’s beef and bean stew.

 

[forrestgump01]

But I like beans, just not in chili you dunce lol. Throw in some cornbread too.

You'll probably just tell us to leave the crackling's OUT of the cornbread you witch !

 

[Major Wader]

Only thing never allowed in cornbread is sugar.

That's cake, not cornbread.

All this shit talking is going nowhere. Who’s gonna post their recipe?

I’ll report back with unbiased opinions. Beans or no beans, doesn’t matter.

 

[Dead Eye Dick]

traditional red (chili con carne) hasn't changed much over the years. It still consists of meat, red chili peppers, and spices — no beans, rice, pasta, or other fillers, aside from vegetables, according to ICS criteria.

So there

Since this was published in a public cookbook, not much point in saying its secret. If you are sharp, you can pick up my real name on the bottom. This is Brenda Chili. Will III and I prefer A touch more chili powder and pepper, A Lot more chili powder and pepper.

 

[Mike Casselton]

Okay, I think I get it.
Texas chili has no beans.

It's meat and sauce like many others above have pointed out.

If chili is spooned over toast, is it still chili?





















Texas chili on Texas toast...

 

[M4orturnate]

AOC-luvin’ Harris/Biden votin’ MRAD-shootin’ Commie Nazicrats eat something without beans and call it “Chilli.”

Fight me.

All chilli matters. Mine is meat, beans, and thick cut onions but ive yet to taste chilli i didnt wany more of

[Jgunner]

Cat meat is great in Chili.

I am actually going to give this a try. Got a couple bobbies in the freezer.

Been to Texas many times.

It's just another state, but at least it's better than NYC.

I have customers in Cincy that believe Skyline is God’s own chili. They like to take customers there and watch the look on their face as they eat it, hoping to see a newly enlightened soul appear with Angel Song.

It’s vomit on a plate of spaghetti.

There are no:

Green chilies in a bowl of red.
No tomatoes, beans, thickeners cinnamon or other bastardized versions of good food.

But Mike, that was before your post referring to “shit on a shingle” as Texas Chili. I’m serious, if any true Texans (not the Commie/pinko/Austinites) catch wind, that you are near, they will do very mean things to you. I’d stay afar away as possible If I were you. Messin with Texas barbecue or chili is considered a crime worthy of at least the Death Penalty by skinning and salting.

Corn without the cob is not corn.......

*Laughs in homade creamed corn*

When shucking if the corns good enough I'll eat it raw. If you want to skeet in your britches make some Elote.

That place should be shut down. I ate there once when I live in Ohio because everyone said I had to. What a disgusting disappointment

I like beans just fine. I make the "16 bean soup" fairly regularly (there are more than 16 in the package, however - I've counted.)

Just have no place in my Chili.

Then your Chili is really “Sadness Soup” identifying as Chili.

I've never counted them, but it's always been 15 bean...as long as I can remember anyway. These don't go in chili, other beans for that.

 

[n2ishun]

4-5 dried ancho chilis
4-5 dried guajillo chilis
2 dried california or new mexico chilis
2-3 dried arbol chilis
Crumble and/or chop those up into a 2 quart sauce pan, stems seeds and all.
Place on burner for a bit till it starts to LIGHTLY smoke stirring well.
Cover chilis with water and bring to a boil, turn down to a light simmer for about 5 minutes.
Remove from fire and leave sit for at least 20 minutes, 45 minutes is better.
Scoop materiel into food processor with small amount of water and blend well....pulsing seems to work best.
Scoop out chili materiel into a screen type strainer held over a 2 quart sauce pan and press materiel thru screen as well as possible scraping outside of screen to get as much as you can, pour small amount of boiling liquid thru to help.....do not use too much boiling liquid as it will be bitter....and you don't want much of that.
Set aside.

In 6 or 8 quart pan (that you have a lid for) brown 2 lbs whatever sort of red meat you want, ground beef, chopped steak, chopped roast, venison, bison, what have you.
Pour off about 3/4 of the fat, but not all, you want some for the flavor.

Pour chili strainings in and mix well.

Pour in tomato JUICE to cover (not sauce, not paste, not diced or whatever....JUICE).

Add about 1 teaspoon cumin
Add about 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (chipotle if you can get it).
Add about 1 teaspoon MEXICAN oregano (not that nasty mediterainian crap)
Add about 1/2 teaspoon achiote paste (ground annato seed) if you can get it.

Bring to a simmer then cover and cook till meat is tender.
Njoy.

This is not Texan red, this is not some contrived shit.
This is REAL Mexican chili con carne.
Your life will never be the same.

BTW, it might seem spicy hot, the only heat comes from whatever chili powder you add (keep that in mind).
It has a flavor that is off the charts, way better than you might think.

[theLBC]

the only time i really prefer eating chili w/o beans is on a chili cheese dog or chili cheeseburger.
contest chili shouldn't be about the beans...but then some cornbread is nice if you're having it as a meal.

 

[Cowpokey]

Gonna have to try that!

Mom always made cornbread for a side with chili growing up. I can take it or leave it.

You don't like shit on a Texas shingle?

Come on man!!?
That was Texas toast.

I'm pretty near to Texas. All I gotta do is look to the NW across the Gulf, and there she be.

Of course to make landfall, I'd have to get past all the mud flats on the south side. Might be hard to do since I sold my flats boat 6 months ago.

In all actuality, the major thing to stop me from goin' tuh Texas, would be that boring assed drive across I-10.
Ugh, shoot me please if I ever have to drive more than a couple of hours on that damn interstate.


Now, about some of that Texas brisket....
OMG!!! Good stuff.

They could have added some curves and not used a laser line to build it lol. The worst is getting to La in the atchafalaya on those long ass bridges if you have car trouble.

Obviously I know it's not laser straight, but it feels like it

Those are not bridges, they are extended pot holes.

The only road I know that is worse is the I 90 from about Lodge Grass Montana to Ranchester Wyoming

Masa is traditional if you want a thick chili.

Cooking it low and slow till it thickens instead of short cutting it is the way to roll.

4-5 dried ancho chilis
4-5 dried guajillo chilis
2 dried california or new mexico chilis
2-3 dried arbol chilis
Crumble and/or chop those up into a 2 quart sauce pan, stems seeds and all.

This ^^^^ guy knows the drill even though some things are different very close to a bowl of red, actually pull out a couple ingredients and it is.

I'm sure I would like his but don't do stems seeds, annto or tomato in mine.
