I saw a video posted on the last chili thread a couple weeks ago, where a guy used a Mexican round chocolate at the end of his recipe. I am going to try and find some of that for my next pot.
I once got "volunteered" for a contest that I did not want to go to. So I bought canned chili from the grocery store, just to meet my commitment. Got third place... :-o
I guess they spend a lot of money on taste testing for the masses.
Since your now up close to yankee land, guess it's OK to add beans. :tsk:
Ain't happening' Chief. My chili has been bean-free since '93.
Next you'll be trying to talk me into trying vegan chili...
Have had beanless chili and it's been very good.
I happen to like beans in chili and have never made it without them. I like the texture they add. Same with non-sauteed onions and peppers...they add a satisfying bit of crunch.
Also think it odd many insist on putting chili powder in chili. It's not necessary IMO. To me, it makes chili taste more like tacos.
GO BEANS! :deadhorse:

Runs back into hiding...
I am a fan of this recipe from pigville porkers. Hopefully it doesn't launch the beans vs. no beans debate.

LOL I have been away for a while and was just reading through some posts and dreaming of my smokers, when I ran across this post. So glad to see my CHili is still being passed around.
