Beans in chili, where do you stand?

[WTJ]

If we excuse all the grab-ass votes, 'with beans' are about to run-rule 'no beans'.

No surprise. Beans in chili and ranch dressing are Okie staples, as near as I can tell.

It's still bean soup.

1 15 oz can of Ranch Style Pinto Beans With Jalapeno Peppers per 3 to 4 pounds of meat. Just enough to add a little texture and heat. It's easy to go overboard on beans to where the beans dominate the taste and texture.

Yes, unless it's going on coneys, then no.

I usually put some black beans and kidney beans in my chili, but not too many. If it is going on a hot dog or for dip, then no beans.

This is the only exception to the rule that Chili always contains beans (possible exception on a chili cheese burger, or if you happen to be pouring it over just a plate of bacon, or pork-chops).

Beans 3 kinds!!!

I put three kinds of beans in my chili; black, kidney and pinto...

Me too. I like the Ranch brand of black and pintos, especially the pinto beans with jalapenos.

Sure! I like musical chili too.

I ordered a bowl of chili in Canton, Ohio and there were carrots in it.
Carrots.
