Whatever happened to benevolence?

Sounds good!

Is it filling? A chili, IMHO, should be a meal in a bowl....hence all the veggies, beans, lentils, beef, etc.

Flannery? Sounds made up. Can they do that, just make shit up?

^love that tune^

A good AUD is good thing.

Well, I may store that one for next year.

Heh, I just got that

The chili verde I made one year was universally scorned and yet it was one of the most amazing chilis I've ever made/eaten in my life. I can handle rejection from heathens and the ignorant.

That would be weird. What is this, a buncha pepper haters around this place?

Its simple: 1 can stewed tomatos 1 can diced tomatos 1 can crushed tomatos 3-6 tablespoons, high powed chili powder (secret, wont divulge) 1 16 oz can kidney beans, drained 1 each, diced-onion, green pepper, red pepper, yellow pepper a couple jalepenos, roughly chopped 1 lb ground beef, browned and drained 1-2 cups precooked lentils, added at end of cooking. full disclosure, there were no lentils in the recent contest entry. Also, I've won this contest twice in years past so put that in yer pipe and smoke it. One entry was a mesquite smoked chicken chili was simply amazing.

I like to put lots of sweet peppers in my chili. Also, lots of lentils. Never ventured into green bean territory though.

Et tu, Poon?

Yeah, its all part of the deal. Ketchup is an invasive condiment when it comes to the proper makings of a Chicago dog and should be kept cordoned far far away.

Dont you blaspheme! Somebody open the window, I need some air. Wha?! I dont even know how to respond to that concept. Are you sure you aint making soup?

A world of chili without beans is a bleak one to consider.

The iconoclast in me refuses to recognize the authority of that society. In other words, a chili with no beans = a pretty lame chili.

You people are nuts. A.D. Livingston, who is a prolific author, gadfly and chili enthusist, hasnt any issue with beans in chili. I believe I'll follow his lead.
