    Chili Poll: beans or no beans?

    I'm just looking for everyone's personal preference. If you were to make a pot or order a bowl, and you have both options- which do you pick?

        Lol, I just want to see collective preferences not start any arguments.

          You probably ask Auburn or Bama in Alabama for research purposes too! 😂
          J/K Huskee I just expect some strong opinions.

          A quote from an old chili head from Texas I read a looong time ago:: "if you know beans about chili you know chili ain't got no beans". I do like 'em on the side though (frijoles charros)

        Personally I love beans in my chili, especially white & black. But I wouldn't refuse beanless, I prefer beanless on my chili dogs!

          I mainly love beanless, but will eat with beans gladly, now and then!

        I heard that puttin' beans in chili in Texas is a hangin' offence.

        Wow! To me, beans are beans then come dishes, then comes chili so really my answer sucks... "it depends, what am I going to use it for?" Is there meat or no meat?

        But a single answer from me (not beating from Texas) is chili (not chile) is a bowl with beans, cheeese, some chiles and crema. That the minimum. Stuff after that. So yes, beans!!

            I really don't make a lot of chilli but the no bean version appeals to me,when I make beans I generally leave meat out(there are a few vegetarians in Seattle, in my own family even)! Oh the horror,the horror...

              Beans every-time - surely that's in its roots as a cheap but filling dish? Any food genealogists?

                I voted beans but that is not the "traditional" chili dish according to most accounts. A traditional chili is typically meat and some sort of gravy with no fillers like beans or noodles.

                always a school day - will be doing some googling at lunch today to take a closer look. Really great poll.

              Want to add some spice to this conversation then bring up pasta, noodles, or spaghetti. Lol

              also i still encourage folks to find meatheads article on judging a chili competition on the free AR site.... definitely worth the read.

                Troutman , Well my mother always used spaghetti when I was going up so I guess there is some nestalgia there for me but I actually like an elbow macaroni if I’m going to use a filler.

                My dad always uses elbow macaroni in his chili, and there's never a bean to be seen. For a long time I thought he was nuts, but I've come around. I've decided I just like chili and it really doesn't matter to me.

              We always have ours with beans. My preference is for red kidney beans.

                I perfer no beans although my wife makes a mean all bean and rice "chili" in the slow cooker. Although the recipe calls it chile, I call it rice and beans.
