What did everyone cook today?

raider2119 Of all the things you could go after him for you go after the beans? Why not the ground beef? Everyone knows real chili doesn’t used ground meat. We could also tell him, he should have posted that picture in the soup and stew thread, instead of this one, but is chili really a soup or stew, or something all together different?
As for beans I can go either way.
Tex_77 I’m good with either ground beef or whole muscle chunks in your chili… I also don’t have a problem with using pork in your chili… I’m not a fan of using fowl as a substitute for real meat… just don’t try to pass off that veggie stuff as real chili… AND, while chili gets relegated to one of those soup pots when it’s on the take out buffet of your local grocery store I believe chili should actually have it’s own category…
As for going either way, that’s a discussion for a whole different website…

Jonathon Beans in chili??? Sacrilege…
So starts the great bean debate of 2020… -
raider2119 3 different types of beans in fact! Pinto, Kidney and Greta Northen beans, then ground beef, fire-roasted diced tomatoes and whole tomatoes that I then crush with a fork. Half a packet of ranch dressing powder and Excalibur’s Killer Chili Seasoning!
Yes, yes, I know that some people don’t consider it chili fi it has beans, we call those people COMMIES! Flame war on!
-
raider2119 Chili needs meat and beans! I’m going to ruffle some feathers here but you can also replace the beans with zucchini for a perfectly suitable low-carb chili.
Joe Hell Yes Joe, consider my feathers ruffled… There is only one acceptable replacement for beans… and that is meat!!!
-
twilliams I was meaning it should have whole muscle meat in it.

Jonathon I’ve never heard of Greta Northen beans, do you mean Great Northern Beans?

Jonathon I go for pinto, kidney, black and white beans (all undrained)…celery, crushed tomato, onion, peppers, cumin, chili powder and sometimes a little cornmeal. Chili must be presented with chopped onion, shredded cheese and soda crackers.
I would often take the leftovers and drain the chili using the ‘juice’ to make rice and then would make burritos and freeze them for later.
Ranch dressing mix? That’s just weird!

Joe Hell He does come from New York, so it’s probably a New York thing? He probably likes that salsa made in New York City as well.

Jonathon Call me what you will… but it looks to me like you are making a 3 bean casserole… which looks like it would be really good… but please do not confuse it with chili!
In fact, let me point out that it appears the official Waltons stance is “NO beans”… Since your Corporate motto is “Everything but the meat”… and having browsed your sales catalog from cover to cover, I can state equivocally that beans appear nowhere in the catalog and therefore do not appear to be a part of “Everything”…

Jonathon Joe Hell raider2119 Tex_77 Chili - really - arguing over Chili?! Man some people have too much time on their hands. I have had chili all across the US. I have had chili made with shrimp, catfish, veggie, steak, hamburger, chicken, turkey. With every kind of bean imaginable (okay, not Jelly). Heat levels from ketchup to "too damn hot to consider and some were good and some were lousy. However, my lovely wife makes a Chili with Cocoa and Cinnamon in the sauce that absolutely makes the angels weep it is so good.
there will be a big pot of it February 2nd when I watch the Chiefs beat the 49’s in the Super Bowl. BTW always fresh onions and cheese to put on top. The New Yorker probably has his on a bagel -

Departing Contestant I too will add cocoa and/or cinnamon on occasion…it adds great depth! With exception of the seafood I have added all of the above. I’m sure shrimp would be excellent!
Also…now that my team is out, GO CHIEFS!!!
Joe Hell A little brown sugar also goes a long ways in adding a depth of flavor.
-
I’ve heard of adding cocoa and cinnamon, but have never tried it… Departing Contestant I’ve tried many of the varieties of chili you mentioned and I’ll agree, some were good… others were not…
As far as Feb 2nd is concerned, if it involves one of those sports that do not use hockey sticks, I am not aware of it… BUT… so long as beans are not included I’ll bring the bagels…

Austin The only solution for those that aren’t relatively close to Wichita is, to send in there chili frozen and ship it overnight, to be entered in the contest. Anyone local could cook on site (your parking lot).
