Looks like BEANS rule with a 3 plus to 1 ratio. I've always used beans with my family famous chili. So todays cook will be???? chili with black beans, market grind beef and pork from Publix. I sorta get heavy handed with the Penzeys hot chili powder. I can already hear "yes ma'am" *ithcin now. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: This will be my first batch for the football season, then it really gets better. Also I need to hone my cornbread skills for cooler weather cookin. :):) to all.

    You folks up north always have problems with math. 78% vs. 22% is more like 4 to 1. LOL

    No self-respecting Texan would use black beans. Pintos are the only way to go.

    Poll:

    Pinto beans
    Black beans
    Kidney beans

    Well, I'm in the minority. For me, beans are a side. I like that con carne flavor.

    Anyway, here's a link to a list of 20 years of prize winning recipes from the Terlingua chili competition:

    http://www.chili.org/recipes.html

    Reading over the recipes, and trying to blend a few together really helped my chili.

    There must be a reason beans aren't allowed in the professional chili cookoffs. -RP

    I lived in Houstin for 15 years. To me, Texas style chili always meant no beans--the way I like it.

    Done & cooling down for the intake. Added a touch of masa for flavor. Next will be a tad more cayenne on my bowl with crackers aka saltines and other asst. titles. Sat. nite will be with spicy cornbread. No sugar. Just for VI. I did add some Kidney Beans to compliment the Blk. beans. The taste = outa site. As usual. :):):) To all.
