In reply to the discussion: Do you make your chili with or without beans? [View all]Ilsa
(62,190 posts)29. I use ranch style beans and ground turkey, Rotel tomatoes,
McCormick's chili seasoning, frozen cut onions and bell peppers (sautéed first), garlic, and tomato sauce for a quick chile.
I also like making chili by cutting beef down into small chunks (bean size) to sauté with onions, garlic, seasoning, etc. No beans necessary. More purist.

The Southwest style is more like a gravy or carne guisada, served on top of corn bread etc.
