    Hey @mickey , send me a recipe for some really good (but simple) "Texas Red" and I will give a try.

    Sorry but I have never found a good but simple recipe for chili. Good chili takes some work. But my goto chili for the past 8 years is Cin Chili....http://cinchili.co/main.sc . This is easy, fast, and damn good chili (it's a mix). You put your own road kill in it and I add onions to in with making it. Bought 6 packages in Austin yesterday. In 30 mins you can have chili. (((((I hate to say it but on the back it says you can add beans :-t ))))) I dont!

    Chile = pinto or small red beans (not kidney) in a great, pepper-laden meat/tomato sauce.
    Not quick or easy, but not out of a can.  Sorry, @Mickey, just don't like the canned stuff.

    Brother I'm wanting one of those mini/maxs bad. That said, I'm in full agreement that chilli should be bean less ;)
    This opinion may change once I have possession of my new mini/max ;)

    I agree that chili isn't quick, but it is pretty easy.

    Ingredients into crockpot, dinner is ready hours later.

    OK, my preference is to add the meat at a later time, so it isn't digested by tomato acid for 8 hours.  I'll brown up the ground meat in a frying pan, then add it to the crock when there is about an hour left of slow cooking.

    Ironic, ain't it? A guy telling us what should and should not go into a pot of chili... makes his from a packet of seasoning mix.

    Sorry, bud. Couldn't resist. The packet you sent me was was pretty good. Even better after I added some beans. :)

    I have a scratch recipe for red that I keep meaning to try. Calls for jalapeño juice. And of course, no beans. I'll have a can or two ready though... In case it needs salvaging. :)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Michael I do understand. But sometimes easy is good (good enough) and when working, chili in 30 mins was important. Now not so much.... But we both like what i sent you (with-out beans).... To make real good chili you need to cook and grind up your peppers and cook the hell out of it. I am fine with Cin Chili...... But thin i call @henapple a friend, so............

    Here is what Wickapeda says Chili con carne is and it has beans in it. No beans is a Texas thing from I can tell from being on here just like they don't do burnt ends either. It doesn't mean it's right or not. There are s lot have ways to do things and it's what you like that makes you happy.

    Actually, wiki states that chili is peppers and meat, often containing tomatoes and beans. The only explicit ingredients are the first two.

    Many years ago there was a home town company called Ranch Style. They made the best canned chili ever," Iron Kettle". That said they were bought out buy a big agro company ConAgra Foods. And next thing is Iron kettle was gone. Now all the focus is on beans. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love Ranch Style beans, but not in my chili.

    But beans are mentioned and does not say no beans. Like I have said before there are many ways to prepare things and you like beans go for it. To me no beans is boring, but to each your own. Take Cincinnati chili; they put chili, beans, cheese, onions and what ever else over spegetti. It's good, but not what I think of when making chili. It's interesting how this thread has progressed.
