Chili Cookoff

[treesmacker]

So, when there is a chili cook off in Texas, do all of the chilis (without beans) tie for first ? I like the beans if eating just a bowl of chili. If I were to put it on a chili dog, no beans. Do Texans eat chili dogs ? I do appreciate the input, and may just go for no beans next year. Thanks all!

Big thanks to this thread and those who contributed! Today, I took 1st out of 5 entries at my work's chili cookoff. There is a ton of useful information on this thread, really appreciate it!

And no beans!

Thanks again y'all!

I like beans in my chili.


And I was even born in TX. :P

I embrace all well made chilis...

I have rarely had a 'bad' bowl of chili, in my life...

Beans, or no...

Probably why you have to live in OK.

Good taste is timeless! I like it without beans. How you like it is not my business.

I agree with Mr. Bones. I like em with & without. Hey let’s take a poll. 😎

Nah, it'd be rigged!
