It's not just Texans

Any reputable chili competition doesn't allow beans or other fillers

It doesn't mean that adding them will ruin your dish but it's not considered to be authentic

If you'd like to have a little fun, run the beans through the food processor, then add to the simmering chili. Creates a nice texture as a bit of a binder.


That is sneaky...and I like it. Thanks for the tip.

I NEVER put beans in chili. That's just filler. Only the best beef and ingredients for me.

I put beans in my chili because it is filler. When I make chili it is usually a budget dish and beans help stretch the servings. I know the "proper" way to make chili, but I choose to make it the way I like it. To each their own.

Ain't nothin' like a chili thread to get the FDB riled up.

Or a Johnny's Pizza thread.

Powerman is about right. I make it both ways and eat it both ways and if you see beans in a Texas chili (which you do) it's normally an East Texas. Hill country and West Texas you won't and it will be cubed beef roast of various cuts but mostly cuts that braise well like a chuck.

If I make it without I use cubed chuck or cubed venison. If using beans I use a chili grind which is larger than a regular ground meat. Only regular grind and no beans on hot dogs.

There are a lot of recipes on there that use ground meat. Some FDBers aren't going to be happy.
