I Call It Chili

[Geezer]

Since I'm still a wannabe Texas resident (hopefully I'll get that fixed by spring), I call this chili. After it simmers a few hours, I'll add some black beans and simmer some more.

I know that that I'm breaking a lot of Texan rules here but we like it. I understand that there has been wars started on whether beans goes in chili. Same goes for ground beef.

Once I get to Texas, I want to make some authentic Texan chili. I'm sure that there is one standard recipe that everyone uses, right?

The only standard recipe that I've ever heard of is for hot water.

The purists here will never use beans and many won't even allow tomatoes. I'm a born and raised Texan and my personal preference is that if I add beans, they should be pinto beans. That said, I appreciate all kinds of chili con carne. My preference for an accompaniment is cornbread, along with a cold beer.

There are 28 million Texans and 28 million recipes for authentic Texas Chili.

This is a true statement

Chili does not have beans. Keep trying, you’ll get it.

Chili can have whatever the hell you want in it, but if it gets too gamey it becomes Louisiana chili.

Originally Chili had no beans. Beans were added in the depression in the 1930's to stretch it out.

Ditto on that.

That said, I do love a nice mess of pinto beans, cooked cowboy style. Or ranchero. There's a place in Fredericksburg that serves pinto beans and cornbread. Don't recall the name, but...yum.

Shit, didn’t realize it was already “virtue signal about chili” season again.

A good start is Wick Fowlers 2 Alarm. That is a good basic chili. I sub a can of Habanero Rotel for some of the water and if someone just has to have beans use Ranch Style, don't drain juice. Hot buttered (not that fake crap) cornbread covered in chili. Cold beer.

Is that the place that brings out an ENORMOUS slab of cornbread with your beans or chili?

One if 28 million recipes: Cook the chili separately from the PINTO beans - but it's ok to add the 2 items together after they're cooked. I agree W. Fowler's 2 Alarm is a good start point. Don't use ground beef - use stew meat.

I think I'm going to need a sample to know what we're dealing with...

 

[SQLGeek]

Beans, no beans....I don't care as long as there's a big piece of cornbread to mix in.

If you are thinking of Wheeler's they closed up. It is a not so good BBQ joint now.

No beans

You might call that chili somewhere else pal, but you might get your ass banned or beat calling that chili in Texas.

Meat & Sauce , no beans...anyone who puts beans in chili, don’t know beans about chili.
Anything else you want to toss in there like those peppers, need be be ground up into the sauce.
