Got in to a spirited discussion with a buddy of mine. He puts beans in his chili. I threatened to unfriend him. What do you do?

How am I using this chili? If it’s as a stand alone meal, beans in to make it more filling. For anything else, no beans.

A big, thick, steaming bowl. Standalone meal.
Beans in it is then
Lately I’ve really liked adding pickles to my chili
Also a pinch of cinnamon
I know this may be controversial with some of our posters, but chili has no business in spaghetti. To me, that is chili malpractice.

I’ll typically put a spoonful of beans on the chili but not cook them in the chili…like a garnish.
I think the real question is…
Do you use chili powder, or
Real ancho chilis, cleaned, toasted, poached, blended and strained to make the chili sauce.

Do you add Fritos, cheese, sour cream and onions?

Usually chili powder just because it is quicker but I have used real anchos and they make a difference.
None of the above. I am a chili purist. But I will not unfriend you like I will using beans.
Yes big difference.
I adapted my mom’s chili sauce recipe she created for her tamales to make chili.
Once I learned that i stopped using chili powder.
No sour cream in chili. Fritos if too lazy to fry and season tortillas.
I like to add onion jalapeno avocado and queso fresco as garnish.
Beans in chili? Only if that’s the only chili available.
What’s next canned chili and ranch style beans. Wait that worked way back in “singledom” and college. Fritos optional.
I have never heard of anyone putting chili in spaghetti, is that a thing?
Cincinnati has entered the chat. Too be fair Skyline chili isn’t really chili though it’s more of a chunky tomato sauce.
This is the correct answer. If you’re making a competition chili, a traditional Texas Red, or a chili con carne… then no beans.
If you’re making dinner, beans are an excellent source of protein and fiber and a good way to make a low cost family meal.
That’s Frito pie not chili even though chili is an ingredient.

Texas red does not have beans. If you want a carb to make you feel full then make a pan of cornbread or biscuits.

Cornbread cooked in cast iron and bowl of chili. Thems some good vittles.
