Hey, I LOVE beans in chili, BUT there’s a restaurant chain here in Ontario called Mexicali Rosa’s that does an amazingly good beef chili without any fillers. It’s basically beef, chili peppers, and spices. Man, oh man, do I crave a bowl of that right now. The best chili I’ve ever tasted… So, if you’re ever in the neighbourhood… ETA: Texas Red Hot. Order the Texas Red Hot. ---

> [@UncleRojelio](#): > > There are no beans in chili. If what you are eating has beans in it, then it is a stew, soup, or cassarole. What it ain’t is chili. Chili is what I say is chili. It has what I say is has. I just made a batch, and it was goooood. And it had beans. But it wasn’t obsessed with the bean experience. It _was_ obsessed with the chili pepper experience: habaneros, serranos, jalapenos, thai peppers. Mmmmm… ---

Those blasphemous of The One True Chili could consider using hominy (canned, not grits) in lieu of beans. Consider it masa in another form. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chili-recipes/463658.md?page=2)
