1. Real Texas chili has no beans or tomatoes

Just beef, dried chilies, onion/garlic, Mexican oregano, cumin.

[ironflange]

11. I made some like that once

It was really really good. Gotta make some more sometime.

15. What some people call chili my mother called Texas stew. Not spicy at all.

[doc03]

2. I may have poor taste but I like Wendy's with

a couple packs of their hot sauce.

[soothsayer]

6. Wendy's is highly acceptable

[doc03]

7. On vacation a couple years ago I got chilli

at a Wendy's in louisiana. They apparently tweaked the recipie for local tastes I guess it was really good.

[Nittersing]

3. yes, yes and yes

I'll eat any kind of chili.

Y'all can debate the details.

[Xipe Totec]

4. The full name is chile con carne. Has two ingredients: chile (peppers) and carne (meat)

[Solly Mack]

5. Chili con carne or chili with beans & tomatoes. Either. I'm easy. I do both.

My favorites are cubed pork tenderloin cooked with poblanos in a pork gravy or chicken poblano stew (which is really a tomato infused chili without beans, served over polenta).

Need the "Other" option.

[LeftInTX]

8. I'll eat almost any form

There are so many variations.

The original is not from hamburger, but another cut and the sauce is more of a gravy than a soup

9. I lowered my carbs

When I make chili now, I use fresh tomatoes, dried beans that I cook, ground beef, okra, onions, garlic and peppers in any form I have handy. I use half the beans I used to, and get 4 servings of chili from a batch.

I like okra and tomatoes cooked together. I like the chili with okra in it. not to everyone's taste, but I tired it and liked it.

10. WICK FOWLER'S 2-ALARM CHILLI MIX

You cannot beat it.
I used to build a batch of chili from scratch and it was damn good chili.
Then one of my Texas brothers-in-law told me about WICK FOWLER'S.
Just try it.
Trust me.

I learned that when I moved there. This is the same state where people put ranch dressing on pizza...

[efhmc]

[jcgoldie]

23. Chili mac

My wife eats it that way. No mac for me but I may add shreded cheese and raw onions.

[efhmc]

24. Now that makes sense and actually could be quite good.

[yellowdogintexas]

26. Ranch dressing on Pizza is very routine in Texas.

I will never understand it.

[ironflange]

17. When it's on spaghetti it's Cincinnati style

Don't knock it till you've tried it.

I love that stuff.

Now I want to make a big batch and serve up a big plate of 5 way

[yellowdogintexas]

28. there is a chili canner in Nashville which has a little diner inside

The chili has spaghetti in it. Not a whole lot just enough you know it is there.

It is fairly good chili for canned. Vietti.

[DinahMoeHum]

18. Beans with it, but not in it, is how I prefer it.

Beans and rice on the side for me. Either that or cornbread.
