Chili is at its best when it has beans, especially black beans. The meaty texture contrasts well with the beef and adds more protein for a healthier meal. Ground beef is an acceptable meat if chuck steak is too expensive or demanding to work with, or if it's meant to go on a hamburger or a hot dog. Crockpots are a good, efficient tool for cooking chili. I won't fault people for using chili powder or chili seasoning in their chili if they just want a quick, easy meal. Chili is one of the best soups you can cook.

Couldn't agree more, though I also like to throw in a handful of frozen corn to give it some nice not-brown color.

I like my chili real thick, does it still qualify as a soup?

I like to use both black beans and butter beans, and sometimes borlotti and/or kidney beans as well. Sometimes I'll even throw in some green beans just for the hell of it. You can't have too many beans.

If I put beans in chili, they gotta be pinto beans.

I do three-bean: black, pinto, and kidney. Also frozen corn is easier, because you need to drain & rinse the canned. Speleothing fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Jan 22, 2017 |

I put garbanzo beans and cilantro in my chili, and omit the pork and meat products since I'm vegan - I also add kidney beans and pinto beans to get a nice mix of beans. top it off with plenty of fresh water and I have a great all-bean chili!! you guys have to try this chili recipe, it's the bees knees.

I also don't put any chilli in my con carne. Also I call it "con carne", not "chilli", because that's what I've always heard it called in real life (whether it was made with or without chilli). I do put capsicum in it though.

I prefer to make my chili as just meat with spices, and then use it as an ingredient, rather than a meal in it's own right.
