Chili is

1. Meat
2. Spices
3. nothing damn else

Shut up.

He didn't say he made "chili con carne" he said he made "chili" which is universally known as possibly including beans.

try tellin that to a Texan I don't care what "universally" people think, I'm a purist. I bet universally people think Mcdonalds has the best fries. Regardless of what they think Chili is supposed to have in it, I stick to the true definition not what's popular or "believed" to be.

Oh yes because only Texans can decide what is in a chili recipe and trust me, you do not speak for all Texans, not by a long shot.

I suppose you missed the "possibly" part, meaning Chili can optionally contain beans but either way it's still chili.

Chili doesn't have beans, just because somebody at some point started adding them and others who likes beans picked up on it doesn't make it right. With beans it's NOT chili any more, it's something else. If a time machine is ever invented I want to go back like the Terminator and assassinate the first idiot who added Beans to Chili.

Argh! Fess up.

No wai am I giving away my super power

you should try it with dark chocolate, and/or replace water with Guinness. hmmmmmmmm

chocolate clashes with some other stuff I have in there, and I hate Guinness. The stuff tastes like motor oil. Sorry.

One thing I love in a good chili is cubed/chopped steak. The last chili I made was with a small amount of ground beef and ground pork and a london broil seared rare, then chopped into 1/2" pieces into the chili. It was awesome. I also cook my chili with beer and let the whole thing simmer for a good 8 hours. When serving I top with fresh scallions, cheddar or pepper jack, cilantro.

The dark chocolate thing sounds interesting, but I don't like chocolate/cacao with meat, although steak and duck can go with chocolate fairly well at times. Also I find stouts are too bitter in chili unless your chili has a very high fat content. I like to use a porter or ale. That's the great thing about making chili though. It's a mish mosh of whatever you want.

Wrong. All chili has beans in it. Without beans, its Chili with no beans.

I've since changed my stance. Chili should not have beans.
