I told you Texas chili has BEANS!!!

[ecowper]

Probably good …. But beans and vegan and Texas don’t seem to go together!

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

Austin probably has a high percentage of vegans

[ecowper]

ItsAllGoneToTheDogs a couple years ago they tried to ban wood smoke in the city limits …. The vegans there, I mean

Y'all got jokes today...

Give it a name that doesn’t include the word “chili” and probably no one would argue with this one. It’s probably pretty tasty.

It could stand a couple-tree pounds of ground beef, though, and maybe a shredded block of cheese.

This is just getting better all the time.....

You just have to keep poking the bear. In these times I’m sure there’s a state out there that would love to be known for their vegan 3 bean stuff. It’s just not us, As ItsAllGoneToTheDogs said it could happen in Austin, but they live by “Keep Austin Weird”.

Lawdy, Lawdy, Lawdy.. It is bad juju to keep poking a bear (as Oak Smoke said). Some day the bear won't be sleepin when you come to poke at it...

In case someone has missed it, this is his 4th Chili/Texas Chili post in less than a week. I’ve found if you ignore him he goes away….for a while. 🤓

But Panhead John when you ignore me, I feel so all alone.

BTW . . . Doing research for recipes for leftover brisket and beans I thought I would share a recipe or two for both fun and interest.

bbqLuv Just messin with ya bro! Keep ‘em comin. 😉

This must be Fake News: I’m pretty sure there is no such thing as Texas chili without meat or with corn. This should be titled “Oregon chili.”

Corn in chili?
I never, ever heard of corn in chili. Maize, maybe, but corn?
