I grew up in a no beans household. My wife grew up in a beans household. So we trade off. Honestly I can't tell that much of a difference from batch to batch.

ETA: I assumed we were talking about meat being in it either way. If we're talking about beans INSTEAD of meat then you can just gtfo right now.

This is not about meat vs. beans. This is about meat vs. meat and beans. Vegetarian chili is for psychopaths. I think we can all agree on this.

 
Beans are fine, but moderation is the key here.

I'd say that you should have 3-4 pounds of meat to each pound of beans

 
Beans are terrible. Add nothing.

When I get a bowl of chili with beans I eat a few of them and then set the rest aside in the bowl, eating the rest of the delicious contents around the beans.

we can't agree on anything.

I could go with or without meat but there must be beans. Preferably many different types.

 
Pro beans here

I've posted this before but what amazes me the most is how terrible people can be at making chili. We've had various chili cook offs at work or someone brings it in for a potluck and I'm like oh hell yeah chili and get a nice big bowl...and then find out it's completely devoid of flavor and then I'm stuck eating the chili or accidentally dropping it on the floor instead of eating the good chili or meatballs or an extra sandwich or something

TL;dr prefer beans but but for the love of God make good chili if you're going to share with people

Based on the last chili contest at work... most people like the devoid of flavor watery hamburger chili that has pasta and cheese built in to it.

 
I'm fine eating meat soup with beans. I prefer Chile, but I'll eat both. I'm not sure why everyone wants to change the English language over this. There is no such thing as chile "with beans".

That's not chili, that's soup.

Yes there is. It's Chili with Beans added to it a.k.a. Chili with Beans

Is there no such thing as Caesar Salad with Chicken?

Tuna on Rye with Tomato?

Bread with Butter?

Stop being silly.

 
For clarification, jelly beans are great. I have no problem with them. They'd suck in chili, of course, but in general they are ok.

 
What the hell? Chili is chili. Beans are beans. Exclusive to themselves. Each, when prepared properly, is a delight. Why mix them up? That's like mating any dog with a poodle. Labradoodle? Really?

Totally different. You can put whatever you want on a salad and it's still a salad. Same with a sandwich.
