Ok so arguments I have heard recently go as far as claiming real chili has no beans, real chili has no tomatoes, or real chili needs the spoon to stand up in it. Maybe these guys are right but then again maybe I believe they are appearance snobs who think the best looking chili must be the best tasting.
I always use beans in my chili, as well as rotel canned tomatoes or if not available fresh diced tomatoes with diced mild peppers,salt pepper and garlic, a chopped onion, chili powder, cayenne powder, cumin, chipotle powder sometimes, with a mix of two or three beans, red amd black beans, sometime red black and pinto beans. The meat is either ground beef or a mix of ground beef and ground deer, the chili is slow cooked for hours. I will admit no one has hated my chili other than those who hate foods too spicey(I go super hot) and everyone who tries it keeps going back for seconds and thirds, it looks hideous but the taste is spot on.
Now every so often someone argues it is not chili because it can't have beans or tomatoes or some other crap, some of these people arguing such look like they threw a crapton of water corn starch and chili powder in a pot to make something that looks pleasing but lacks any flavor.
