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

Beans in Chili??? WTF is this world coming to.

Agree. I blame violent video games, and floride in the water

[Rocinante]

I won't rinse black or chili beans or any other seasoned beans. I will rinse the others just to remove the excess sodium, EDTA, or other agents in the solution.

I much prefer chili without beans. My lovely bride likes beans in chili, we compromised on one can ONLY in our pot. Sometimes I make a small pot without just for me. But I just open and dump those suckers in there.

If making chili with beans I drain, however, I don’t rinse!

I also am proud to say I like chili with and without beans!!

Beans in chili is the only way to eat it. I like you Texan boys but you just don't know to eat.

The only beans I drain are garbanzos for salad. Who likes soggy, dripping salad?

[FireMan]

I drain all my canned beans, whether fer chili or even servin straight up as in baked beans. A little technique I picked up from Kent Rollins, I add my own fixins, sauce bacon etc. to have em taste a bit more real.
