In reply to the discussion: Do you make your chili with or without beans? [View all]Figarosmom
(2,188 posts)40. Yeah
It's the beans I like. I know a lot of people say chili is just meat, whatever. But to me if it's just meat why give it a name instead of just calling it boiled meat soup.
And I like V8 instead of plain tomato sauce. Lots of chili powder and jalapeños and onions. Beef bullion
and crushed red peppers. And always the bean juice from the can. I use one can dark kidneys and the rest are dried beans

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