Do you Drain and/or Rinse your Canned Beans when you make Chili?

[ssandy_561]

Just wondering if you drain and/or rinse your canned beans when you make chili?

Panhead John I even included a choice so you and your fellow Texans can participate. 😃

I don’t drain nor rinse. Proper chili needs all the bean flavor it can get.🙂

[texastweeter]

That's one...

[Duanessmokedmeats]

I am with you DonW

[captainlee]

I don't open them.

[texastweeter]

Amen

I drain and rinse canned beans..☣️

[Attjack]

We do what we're told.

[Draznnl]

I used to neither drain nor rinse. Now I don’t use canned beans. fzxdoc and the rest of the Rancho Gordo hegemonists here have converted me to fresh beans.

[DaveD]

I, too, have been assimilated by the RG collective. But we'll still use some canned beans once in a while, they're awfully convenient...

[fzxdoc]

yakima , every time I cook dried beans in the Instant Pot, I raise my fist and shout, "Take THAT, lectins!"

Yeah, I fell into the RG camp here as well. Resistance is futile.

[Kevin Fuess]

Beans in chili?

[Panhead John]

That’s what I say!……..damn foreigners

[DavidNorcross]

This is going to be one interesting thread.....

[CaptainMike]

Only for my white chicken chili with Brussels sprouts.

[Panhead John]

Adding some beets makes it over the top!

[acorgihouse]

You don't use kale?

[texastweeter]

Lol, Capn's got jokes

[Texas Larry]

Interesting way to phrase the question. ASSUMES you are using beans when making chili, only inquires as to how. I have only occasionally added beans to my chili. Best I can remember I drained and rinsed each time.

[DogFaced PonySoldier]

Dammit. Now I want some chili.


WITH beans.

[texastweeter]

Gonna end up wit butt stuff issues like someone else I know

[Oakgrovebacon]

Had some chili with beans for lunch today. I would also eat it without beans.

[Jfrosty27]

Beans in chili? Ah….no.

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

Canned beans I will drain, dried beans I use the bean broth.

[texastweeter]

Yeah and where did that get you?

[Panhead John]

In the hospital with anal problems.

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

Panhead John I was hoping I'd get probed by aliens someday, but best the universe could give me was some Indian movie star moonlighting as a doctor... oh well. Maybe in my next life

[smokenoob]

So if a Texan is served chili with rinsed or unrinsed beans is he polite and just pick them out and put on a side plate or offer them to another diner? 🤔

[texastweeter]

Depends on how hot she is.

[mrteddyprincess]

I'm siding with my good friends from TX on this one...I thought beans in chili was wrong from about age five to now. The good people of TX just give me permission to omit the nasty beans from my tasty chili! God Bless Texas.

I’ll bet those “beans in their chili” folks watch Dancing With The Stars and never miss an episode of The Bachelor…….
