Quoted: Ladies and gentlemen, gather round as I unveil the unspeakable travesty that has befallen our beloved culinary world: beans in chili. Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Beans? In chili? How bad could it possibly be?” Brace yourselves. First and foremost, let’s consult the annals of chili history. Chili con carne, a dish with roots deep in the heartland of Texas, was birthed in a world where the simple marriage of meat and spices was more than sufficient. It was a symphony of flavors, an ode to the prowess of the cowboy, and an anthem to the heat of the desert. But somewhere along the line, someone thought, "You know what this perfect dish needs? Beans." That's like saying the Mona Lisa needs a nose ring or Beethoven's 9th Symphony needs a rap solo. It's an affront to tradition and an absolute culinary catastrophe. Beans are traitorous little nuggets of deceit. They masquerade as meaty morsels but are nothing more than filler, distracting from the rich tapestry of flavors that chili inherently provides. They're like that one person who insists on singing along at a concert even though they're tone-deaf; they just don’t belong. And from a texture perspective? Oh, don’t even get me started. A good chili should have a harmonious consistency, with the meat being the star. Introducing beans into the mix is like inviting a marching band to a ballet performance. Suddenly, there's chaos, discord, and a lot of people questioning their life choices. Not to mention the gastrointestinal repercussions. Beans are notorious for their, ahem, musical side effects. Is that what we want for our chili eaters? A symphony of flatulence? I think not! Lastly, think of the children. Do we want to raise a generation that believes beans belong in chili? What other culinary monstrosities will they come to accept? Pineapple on pizza? Milk before cereal? The horror! So, next time someone suggests adding beans to chili, remember this impassioned plea. For the love of all things sacred in the culinary world, JUST SAY NO. Let us preserve the sanctity of chili, untainted and bean-free, for generations to come. What idiocy. |

 Beans belong in the trash can next to your AK. For they are not muscle and sinew cooked to tenderness. They are lies! |

If people want beans in their chilli that's fine with me. I'm a live and let live kind of guy and won't criticize them for their lifestyle choices.
But what they are having is "Chilli and Beans" not "Chilli." And I don't care if chilli and beans identifies as chilli or not, I'm not going to call it something that it isn't. |

I believe OPs origin story to be correct. However he is leaving out a critical component. Food was scarce on the range. If Cookie had to stretch the rations, your chilli was getting beans and you'll be greatful for it.

Chili has beans.
Pasta sauce is completely different. I would venture to guess that most of you Texans would eat roadkill armadillo as long it had tomato and chilies. |

I love people saying "chili without beans is spaghetti sauce or hot dog topping."
I imagine them going over to some Italian grandmother's house on a Sunday, dumping 3 cans of kidney beans into her spaghetti sauce that she's been cooking all day, and calling it chili.  If your chili makes a good condiment for a hot dog, you made your chili wrong. Here's a hint: There's no ground meat. |

 My Gramps who hailed from the Texas panhandle! Passed down the family heirloom chili recipe! It has been in our family for over 100 years or more! You Texans forced my poor old gramps to call his chili "Goulash"! Because of your whole "No Beans" in chili nonsense! Well Gramps! I hope you can see this post from your executive level mansion in Heaven! Because your "Chili" recipe has won competitions! Your welcome Gramps, glad I can carry on the tradition you started all those years ago!! I added a few extra !! For the grammar Nazis of arfcom!  |

Mediocre chili can have beans as filler, and it's acceptable.
Good chili doesn't need beans, and is second class if they're included. |

I like beans in chili. That's how I make it. I would like to try making a recipe without beans because I accept that the original idea behind chili didn't have beans in it and would therefore be more authentic.

There are traditions, and then there's culinary sacrilege. Adding noodles or rice to chili falls firmly into the latter category. Have you no respect for the sacred rites of chili preparation?

I'm all for authenticity. But I got to say I have a recipe for chili that uses beans, and it's so delicious that I just haven't bothered to make it any other way.
On the other hand, beans in pork green chili would definitely be an abomination. |

The rice is not affecting the chili. The rice is however benefiting from the contact. |

What exactly is the sin? How does the rice violate the chili or offend the eater? The rice has clean hands and is deserving of absolution. |

Can't we just accept the fact that there's chili that has beans in it, and there's chili that doesn't. Like someone already pointed out, it's all about the meat, the sauce, and the spice. I've had some mighty fine chili with beans, and I've had chili without which I enjoy just as much. Instead of worrying about the damn beans worry about the consistency is the chili more like soup or is it nice and thick? Actually I believe the best chili I've ever had not only had beans but it had the little red chili peppers in it as well. It's been well over twenty years since I had that chili and I can still remember it.
