Oh no you don't. I'm not giving out my recipe ... π
Suffice to say there are several kinds of chili that will qualify. And yes it's the Texans that get bent about the bean/no bean thing the most. I'm bi-legume, can take it or leave it. Sweet peppers and green peppers are not a thing that qualifies something as chili. You need Chiles. After that, there's a panoplyof things that can be added and may still legitimately be called chili. White bean and chicken w/ green chiles? Yep.
I am partial to ground beef and beans in my chili. My own recipe has several kinds of chiles (dried and fresh), beer, and cocoa... though these days I make it with beans and no beef--which is sacrilege, but so tasty.
@tyghebright I have put all kinds of fun stuff in a "chili" but never beer! Red wine if I felt decadent. π€£
What type of beer do you use because I want to try that!
@tyghebright Well I just happen to live not too far from where they make Doom Bar amber ale! π Thanks Tyghe.
