Oh, and crackers with my chili, or fritos for frito pie. I'm on the fence about beans, like chili with them or without.

Prefer cornbread for red beans and rice. I'm with Brandi and the rest on that.

Lou,

I'm glad your going to stick around. If you leave I won't have anybody to drink with when the rest of them are working. Freedom is good, and here in Texas we're kind of partial to it.

I never buy chili with beans.

But I've had some good home made chili which had beans.

I like Chile with or without beans, why do y'all have an aversion to beans? in Chile I mean.

Like Kyle, Chile makes a great Frito "pie", I like to dice fresh onion and shredded cheddar added to the mix.

Charlie,
Was the USS Hancock the flight deck you were referring too about the wind bothering you?

I like chili with black beans. The dark reddish kidney beans are popular in chili around here too, but we like the little black beans more.

For meat I'll get some beef round or sirloin, and pork loin. About 2/3 beef to 1/3 pork. I trim it very lean and cut it small. It goes in the crock pot raw to make gravy from the meat juices right in the chili while it cooks.

Like Dennis, we have shredded cheddar and chopped onions as chili toppings. Corn bread is not very common around New England. Plain old saltine crackers works for me.

OK....OK....OK...y'all got me! It's chili and cornbread for supper. I know it's not Texas chili with beans --but I like beans....but everybody that has tried my cornbread really likes it. I mill my own wheat and corn for it. I use hard red wheat and popcorn. Makes a whole wheat & popcorn cornbread. Our HEB in Bastrop sells "chili meat" -- coarse ground chuck. add ranch beans with jalapenos, tom sauce, and seasoning; the longer it simmers the better, but it's ready in 15 minutes. Doubt it would win any prizes but we like it.

Wolf Brand even has a 'lean' recipe chili.

They make chili with or without beans but they export most of the 'w/beans' up north where folks don't know good chili doesn't have beans.
