If you absolutely must do canned chili, Wolf lean no beans is the way to go

Im a big fan of nalley. Beef (no pork) and beans.
There's no canned chili out there that can do the no beans chili correctly BTW |

Nobody here likes canned chili. You have to slow cook it for 4 days with stuff that took you 4 weeks to buy. And then you have to plan out cooking it for a week. And even then it will be wrong.

While I will admit that a slow simmer will make the best chili - I can generally do a decent imitation in 3hrs if I use a pressure cooker. 30 minutes to an hr in the pressure cooker, then another 1 or 2 simmering to reduce. Ok 4hrs, because prep does take a bit to make diy chili paste, cube the meat, and brown it properly...
I happened to have a can of wolf within reach. 30 fucking grams of carbs... I guess they use a shitload of thickener in it. Honestly, my chili probably has too many carbs - but the only carbs in it are the chilies and an onion. |

I prefer the Yankee canned chili.
Wolf is too bitter. Edible, but barely. |

I used to love Wolf when I was younger and wanted chili after a late night.
They moved production of it and the quality went to absolute shit though. Now it’s an orange paste with the consistency of shit out Taco Bell ground beef. Wolf sucks hard now. Making chili is easy. Wish I had started making it earlier in life. If I had to eat it out of a can, it’d be Campbell’s. |

I think I have tried Stagg and liked it. Next question - what grocery store actually carries a decent variety any more. Seems like HEB is going primarily to store brands, my local stores are stocked about as good as a Dollar General... Walmart is definitely not a great place for fine food... I guess I need to go to a city and find a Randals or something.

Wolf Angus All Beef. Too much shit has textured soy protein added - F that. It's not the be all, end all, but it's better than most.

The can of wolf at hand mentions soy, but oats are far higher on the list of ingredients. Who the blue fuck puts oats in chili. Putting spinach in it makes more sense - at least that is not empty calories. And yes, I have done that in the past, when I realized my diet was containing no green stuff.

Hormel is what I buy for canned chili. I eat it for lunch when theres no leftovers to take to work.
I ain't looking for a gourmet meal, just something to fill the void. |

I brought this very same question up on the FAL FILES years ago.
After being beaten repeatedly with a rolled up newspaper *STAGG* (iirc) was the clear winner. YMMV. |

I've never found one that I like.
Chili is one of those things where if I don't feel like I have the time to make it, I just make something else instead. And since I don't buy ready-to-eat food in a can to begin with, there's not really much to think about while I'm standing in the kitchen wondering what I'm making for dinner. Canned chili won't be one of the options.

Wheat, soy, sugar, various hyper-refined starches...the list in "chili" is endless. And then there's the matter of the meat itself, which is usually ground, and never from a cut you'd have chosen yourself. It's always a shitshow. They'll all make a turd, though.

If you go to the costco business center, they have #10 cans for a very good price. We just end up freezing most of it. Compared to most canned chili, and canned food in general, it was pretty good.

The Laura Lynn store brand from Ingles is pretty good for the price. They have it with or without beans for whichever side you're on. I have some in the pantry as it is much better than starving, or eating Chef Boyardee ravioli.

Whatever brand Aldi carries. It's only $0.89/can so I can stack it deep.
If I'm in a situation where I'm eating canned chili for sustenance, taste is going to be the last thing I'm worried about |

Wolf's hot no beans
It has only two uses for me: hot dogs and "bachelor chow" (box Velveeta mac and cheese, can of the aforementioned wolf's, a slice of pepperjack, and some bacon bits for texture )

If the power is out, and no gas for genny, you'd be thawing out freezer ground beef and eating it over a fire. Between the meat and fire is a dutchoven/pot, something to put the beans in with the meat.

Campbell's Chunky Chili is my favorite of the several brands I have tried. Comes with both beans (my preferred) and without beans for you heathens. The regular is spicy enough for me. I don't think I could eat the spicy one. Hormel is worse than dog food.
