I think we've been discussing the wrong issue with Beans vs No Beans. There's a time for both.
Here's what I don't understand... Who decides they're going to cook chili, then goes to the grocery store and buys an envelope with eleventy billion grams of sodium and a little bit of cayenne pepper. That's not cooking. You just heated up a glorified Hamburger Helper. I don't really have a recipe, so I pretty much always improvise based on what sounds like a good idea at the time. That hasn't always worked in my favor, but it's how I roll. When I make chili, I use a pile of tomatoes as my sauce base, and add miscellaneous peppers as I see fit. It's easy enough to just cut 'em open, separate the seeds, and throw that shit in a blender (I don't own a food processor, and I'm too lazy to chop them by hand). The last couple times I decided to make something resembling chili, I've used a mix of bell peppers with some jalapenos. It's good but I decided to try something different today. Today, it's pablanos, serranos, and Anaheims. Anyways, back to my original question, do you use Mix, or No Mix? |

Quoted:
My chili recipe is always done by taste, no written recipe, so it's a little different time. I have never uses a chili mix, but I do put beans in my chili unless I'm making chili sauce for hot dogs and hamburgers.  sounds awesome! except that if you can put it on a hotdog and not ruin it then it sucked to start with... |
