Yes, beans are an extender. But, if you are in Texas, and there is beef everywhere you turn, it is an unnecessary evil.

It kind of depends on my "audience" as to whether or not I put beans (pinto beans ONLY) in my chili. At home, I rarely use beans. If there's company, I have to know them pretty well in order to make a decision to put beans in my chili or not. When I was living in MN, the people up there always considered beans as part of the chili. I also had to tone down my chili as most Minnesotans consider ketchup a "spice". :banghead:

Out of curiosity, has any tried making lasagna, but substituted chili for the standard meat sauce?  I made it once for a family reunion and people liked it once they got used to the idea of it.

Sounds... different.  I'm not sure how well a spicy chili would mix well with lasagna.

No on the chili lasagna. Have had the chili spaghetti though and it is okay. I personally prefer tortilla chips.

Now, Shiner Kolsch was about the best beer I had found for washing down chili. They quit brewing it though last year. They need to bring it back. Some sort of IPA would probably do well.

The only part that is really lasagna is the noodles.  Substitutions were made for the ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan.

Fritos for me.  The Kolsch was one of the finer Shiner products.  But I LOVE the St. Arnold's Lawnmower.  You should try that if you like hoppy Kolsches.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government.

I gots my meat and other chili-related stuff.  I thought I'd try something different... I picked up some ground beef, ground pork, sausage, and bacon, a single tomato (not too much!), and some smoked jalapenos (canned).  I forgot to pick up garlic or onion, but I wasn't planning on making a large batch.  We'll see how this turns out.

The poll is currently tied.  Are beans kosher?  Which side are the JOOOOOOOOOOOS on?

Beans aren't kosher unless the Rabbi prayed over them... :tongue:

However...they don't belong in chili... :-)

Chili : with crackers or without?

I'll crunch ups some crackers in the bottom of the bowl if the chili is kind of thin.  I also like some shredded cheese, either sharp cheddar or peeper jack on top.

no crackers.

I usually make corn muffins with creamed corn, green chilies and shredded cheddar/jack in them.

I like shredded colby/jack and sour cream on my chili.

That's why we always had cornbread with chili in our house when I was growing up.

I had no idea, but recall that we had cornbread only when we had chili too.

I always took the cornbread, but passed on the chili.

Not that I'm anti-chili; it's just that the chili in our house was never any good, what with the peppers, onions, mushrooms, and other gagging stuff in it.
