Beans in chili

trolling aside, can we take history into account here? if chili originated from texas, and it originated to feed lower class (poorer) cowboys after work by adding the traditional chili's and seasonings PLUS whatever ingredients they could muster, (because they were poor) then why the mother fuck couldn't beans have been a traditional ingredient? as far as I know, corn was added a lot of the time, but you don't see corn added to a lot of faggoty chili purists recipes. so either chili was not originated that way, or you're full of shit.

You're already boiling the shit out of perfectly good beef, might as well turn boring shit into tasty shit

I like beans.

Ground meat in sauce is not a meal. It needs a third component that's not just cheese

>all these plebs w beans in their chili

Chili should be meat, chiles, and seasonings

Anything to make it more substantial like beans, pasta, rice, goes in later per individual. Also cooking your beans IN the chili almost always makes them overcooked and gross

>beans are the pleb tier chilli carb choice
Only red blooded Americans can handle the sophistication of corn in chilli

>chili should be spicy bolognese

Well, that would be the name of the dish. Chili peppers.

Some people pleb out and just use some kind of powder but it really ought to contain a variety of actual chili peppers.

This. There's also the fact that chili developed as a border food, and isn't specific to Texas. Because it came about and changed in different areas and time periods, there isn't a single "authentic" version of chili, because it varies so much according to where you are. For example, chili in different regions of Texas are differen things, and New Mexico chili is different entirely to what you find in Texas. Arguing over what's "traditional" or "historically accurate" with chili is utterly pointless, because the dish is so varied.

I don't understand this meme.
