I know you’re convinced that a little cinnamon improves your chili.

You are incorrect on this conviction.

      Beans are the foundation of chili. You can remove all the meat from a chili and still call it chili. You cannot remove all the beans and still call it chili.

        Yes: Pinto beans are called chili beans for a goddamn reason. But also kidney beans in the mix (and black beans at least) are delicious too.

          I can’t find good kidney beans (all the ones I find, their skins are too tough compared to the other beans) so I use navy beans instead. Also pinto beans. I can’t remember the third but it’s a three bean chili dammit who ever heard of a two bean chili

      Beanless chili only works as a hot dog condiment. I don’t see the point otherwise

      All the beanless chili I’ve had has been made with chunks of meat instead of ground meat so more like a spicy stew.

        I’ve had a lot with shredded beef, but that’s probably because they were too lazy to cut it after smoking. Shredding is easier.
