49. I'm okay with that. I'll take either, but the first line I'd go to would be the just-meat one.

I'm also not thrilled with overly-spicy, which will confirm me as a complete and utter disgrace. Flame away! (Pardon the pun...)

Beans do bulk up the chili, though. I find I will eat chili with beans more because I have to than because I want to. Beans provide a lot of good fiber and protein and all that. They're okay. But meat-only would win out. And I add sour cream and grated cheddar and chopped green onions. I do that whenever I have the house chili at Souplantation. Doctor it up.



CONGRATULATIONS on your tasty triumph, Recursion!!!! That is fabulous! An impressive title to win!
