So what do the beans do that changes the chili? other than make it more awesomer????Totally different. You can put whatever you want on a salad and it's still a salad. Same with a sandwich.Yes there is. It's Chili with Beans added to it a.k.a. Chili with BeansIs there no such thing as Caesar Salad with Chicken?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".
Tuna on Rye with Tomato?
Bread with Butter?

Chili that comes with beans is Chili with Beans
How are those concepts totally different?
I've eaten a lot of Chili that had some beans added to it. How should I describe that? meat soup with beans?
So if I want to put either cilantro, chopped red onion or cheese on top of my chili I need to call it Meat Soup with Chopped Onion on Top of it?
What if I want to drink a beer with my Chili.
Is it now Meat Soup with a Beer on the side?
beans = repulsive fillerI don't understand the semantic purity argument. We all know that the dish originally did not contain beans. We all know that it generally still does not in Texas. Pretty much everywhere else in the United States, it does. Dishes change. Very few dishes are prepared the same way they were when they were invented. And nobody gets salty when people put cheese or sour cream on chili, despite the fact that I'm pretty sure those were items that the chuck wagon cooks who invented chili didn't have available to them on cattle drives either. I mean, Smails "authentic" chili relies on all kinds of #### that wasn't in the original recipe. You think they were putting beer and Jack Daniels in there?
I enjoy chili both ways, but when I make it, I use beans. Both because most people I make it for prefer it that way, and because buying two lbs of meat and three cans of chili beans is a lot cheaper than buying 5 lbs of meat.

ThisIt depends for me.
Chili as the soup = with beans
Chili on fries or hot dogs = no beans.
That reminds me of the time when I opened a can of Wolf brand chile and found a piece of a tooth in it.Eating a bowl chili is like getting a blow job. None are really bad, just some are better than others.
You are in Milwaukee so...duh.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.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
Sloppy Joe is made from hamburger, proper chili is made from non-ground meat.You no-bean people are strange.
Beans all the way. I didn't even know chili without beans was a thing. That's like basically taking sloppy Joe meat and making them chili flavor and eating it with a spoon.

Let me put it this way. What if someone doesn't eat meat, and doesn't like chile pepper? Can they just put tofu and tomatoes in a pot of water and call it chile? Of course not. It would be total anarchy.
Chili was invented in Texas and Texas is a place where putting beans in chili is a major faux pas, if not a misdemeanor offense.You no-bean people are strange.
Beans all the way. I didn't even know chili without beans was a thing. That's like basically taking sloppy Joe meat and making them chili flavor and eating it with a spoon.
There are a few really great food feuds that will never die: New York pizza vs. Chicago pizza, whether it's a hoagie or a grinder, whose barbecue is the best and whether or not beans are allowed in chili. NOW EVERYONE CALM DOWN. Since football food season is now on, we want to tackle the age old question of which chili recipe is the best chili recipe.
The answer, really, is kind of a cop out so please don't yell at us -- all chili is good chili and we can live in peace and harmony when it comes to beans. Really, seriously, Texas. We see you getting red in the face over there. Your meat-and-chile-only chili (also known as a bowl of red) is one of your greatest contributions to American culinary history. But if someone wants to put beans in it, they should totally be allowed to. Because beans are delicious, cheap and good for you. For goodness' sake, Cincinnati puts cocoa powder in their chili and it still tastes good, so we've decided that chili really cannot be screwed up. In case it wasn't clear, we are giving beans in chili our blessing.
In what may be the single most meaningful advancement in the beans-in-chili-debate's history, last year, the International Chili Society's World Chili Cook-Off included an additional division -- you guessed it -- chili with beans. Look, guys, the International Chili Society said so. So stop telling people that their beans are invalid.
Beans were first added to chili to stretch it further. Beans are cheap and when times are tight, they're an easy way to get nutrition and fill up hungry stomachs. They have the added bonus of tasting ridiculously delicious in chili, and we'll confess that when we think of chili, we think of beans.
Since when are these two things mutually exclusive?eat > Beans
Voted no beans.
FUBAR = pyschopath. Notebook updated.we can't agree on anything.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.
I could go with or without meat but there must be beans. Preferably many different types.
I guess we can put you firmly in the "Meat Only" camp.Beans can suck a big fat ****

No one is removing any key chili ingredients when they add beans. They are adding beans.
What you are trying to compare is: "If you took a caesar salad, and added chicken, but removed the croutons and caesar dressing, would it be caesar salad?"
It's ridiculous.

I'll just start calling everything "FOOD".Actually getting hungry. Might have to make Judge's chili today.
I don't add beans to that recipe but I do add cilantro and chopped onion and drink it with beer so I'll be sure to call it:
Meat Soup with Cilantro/Raw Chopped Onion and Beer
As long as ketchup is not an ingredient in either, I agree with this 100%Chili is like meatloaf. There are no hard and fast rule on how to make it.
Glad to see you're coming around.Actually getting hungry. Might have to make Judge's chili today.

Cheerios and Milk today...I made a cheeseburger today. But I added pickles.
So now I have to call it a meat patty on bun with cheese and pickles instead of a cheeseburger with pickles.
