What's everyone using for tomatos? I've mostly used Hunts dices and even Walmart's brand on occasion due when being cheap, but last week I used Del Monte and those diced tomatos didn't look as good as Huntz and even Walmart's brand. Maybe it was just that batch I used.

Your Beans? I'm kind of all over on this one. I last used Walmart's dark kidney beans as that is what was on hand, but I've used Pinto beans when that's what on my shelf at that time. I've also used Goya and Trappey's beans.

For chili, cayenne, and cumin spices I normally use McCormick.

And I usually just toss in 3/4's of a bag of frozen mixed red, green and yellow bell peppers with onions from Picksweet when I don't feel like chopping my own. The wife unit hates that.

How about crackers? You eat crackers with your chili? I normally eat Town House original.

Drinks? What drinks go best with chili?

Cubed chuck and chilis

Which is entirely logical, since chili is a stew, made substantially of meat and peppers.
Chili is a stew.
Do you put ground meat or beans in stew?

Been thinking of trying San marzano for tomatoes.

Nabisco premium saltines are always what I use for crackers.

Last batch I used northern white beans, chilli and kidney beans.

I like to get a variety of the dried chillis from the Mexican section, reconstitute and then blend.

Guajillo, Ancho, Allepo, chuck roast, beef stock, and a few dry spices.

I like using an Italian brand peeled and/or crushed.
Beans? I like Goya pinto and/or black.

I don’t care what chili snobs think, it’s my damn food, I’ll cook it how I like it.

Peppers, spices, and I prefer small cubed beef to ground. I also add onion. And sometimes more.

I also prefer buttered cornbread to crackers.

If I wasn’t smoking beef ribs and jerk chicken tomorrow, I know what I’d make.

What kind of chocolate chips do you use for your chili, OP? I use semi-sweet.

Traditional spaghetti Marinara sauce with ground beef, but you add beans, cumin and chili powder.

To some of you, that’s chili.

I like some of The Fresh Chile Co. sauces with the sun dried red variety being one of my favorites. Chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce is another ingredient I like to use sometimes . I use these and other ingredients in many dishes. Breakfast , lunch , dinner , slow cooker whatever in addition to chili . Chiltepin and pequin peppers are also some of my favorite fresh ingredients. Good luck .

I've also used Goya and Trappey's beans. One large can of Brooks Chili Hot Beans, one smaller can of Bushes Black Chili Beans in mild sauce.

For chili, cayenne, and cumin spices I normally use McCormick.

And I usually just toss in 3/4's of a bag of frozen mixed red, green and yellow bell peppers with onions from Picksweet when I don't feel like chopping my own. The wife unit hates that. One fresh chopped green bell pepper and one chopped vidalia onion.

I add one can of beer and a jar of hot chunky salsa.

Them: “If you don’t have beans, it’s just spaghetti sauce!”

Me: If that’s the only difference, your “chili” is almost entirely unlike chili.

Things that don’t belong in chili:

1. Beans
2. Ground meat (unless it’s mixed with cubed meat)
3. Tomatoes
4. Canned goods of any kind
