In reply to the discussion: This discussion may draw blood: I just won a Chili Cook-Off [View all]calimary
(80,693 posts)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!

I don't think too many people would win cook offs if they stuck to authenticity

The full name of the dish is also the list of ingredients: Chile con carne means chilli with beef.
