Ground beef, not hamburger, and no beans or tomatoes. Aren't they the same thing?  I make my chili with ground beef and, as required by everyone who grew up in the midwest, it must be served school style with a big soft fluffy iced cinnamon roll. There just is no other way. I do make Chili Colorado with chunks of beef. Mmm.. that is good. Just a different type of chili. I serve that with fresh flour tortillas Technically yes. But we grind our own beef using a larger sized grinding plate. Store purchased hamburger is too fine for my liking in chili. I think it's all about what you're used to. |

I'm in Texas so no beans. I make mine the way my mom makes hers. Ground beef and chunks and sausage. I buy a roast and have the butcher chunk it up for me. He also grounds a roast for me. I also use a local spicy sausage, Zummo's. Brown them all and throw them together with a 3 alarm mix. I add more red chili, garlic, onions and bell pepper. I make this for my husband's coworkers and they love it. Most of them say it's the first time they've eaten chili made with ground beef and chunks and sausage. Jennifer i have used sausage in my chili as well. But then I get people telling me it’s no chili anymore. Same here, but if I take anything out, my family says somethings missing. Jennifer |

I've always used very lean ground beef and various types of beans. Last week I made Chili though and used dried refried beans. We loved it but I missed seeing actual beans, LOL.

I like a recipe for Vegetable Chili con carne. It has peppers, onions, celery, carrots, ground beef and beans. It simmers in chopped canned tomatoes with lots of spices. I add corn at the end. It's my favorite. I love beans, so I always add them to chili. I know it's chili without them, but I don't like to pass up the opportunity to eat pink beans.
I also can't eat very spicy food, so mine is mild.

I usually use ground beef, but my daughter taught me that cauliflower rice is a nice substitute.
I think that as long as it has a spicy tomato based sauce, it's chili, not stew, even if you use beef chunks. My stew has a different sauce than my chili.

Chili is nasty. We only make it with ground beef and beans, but I am aware that chili can be made other ways.

Eck! I make chili without any meat. Multiple types of beans, peppers, tomatoes, corn, and spices.
I should probably be forbidden from calling it chili then.....

I'm okay with any of the ways listed above, except the macaroni. That just doesn't sit well with me for some reason.
Mine is usually meat (ground beef for ease/speed and small chunks of beef for a more substantial chili) onions, tomatoes, a bit of tomato paste, dark red kidney beans and spices.
I know some swear chili has no beans but it then just seems like sloppy sloppy joes to me.
Much of it is good, just prefer beans.

Chili is about the seasonings—not the meat. I’ve made it with ground beef, beef chunks, chicken chunks, ground turkey. With beans and without—one type of bean and multiple types of beans. ^^^^ This the answer is in the name. It is about Chilli! Use Chilli to as the main seasoning and it is a soupy dish.. you have chilli. I personally use ground meat.. beef, chicken, turkey or bison, I usually add some finely chopped mushrooms to make the meat go further. I almost always add beans. But I like it when other people make it without. I like it by itself, with cornbread (which is how I grew up) or over rice or macaroni!!! i love the versatility and the quickness of the dish.. and how it tastes better the next day! |

I dice eggplant and zucchini really small roast it with a chilli seasoning pack in the oven and then use it like i would ground meat. People always rave about it. |

fave is a combo of ground beef and leftover tri-tip that's been cut into smallish dice, with lots of assorted beans.

I like to mix beans in chili. I like using them to cut down on calories and add nutrition and fiber. I use at least 3 different kinds of beans, and it looks and tastes pretty good.

I've seen chili recipes made almost every way, but when I make it it's ground beef and beans (combo of red kidney and Pork'n beans). I made it once with stew meat and it was good, but ground beef is easier. And of course it has to have chili powder...I've learned to take chili powder to my in-laws at Christmas when they make soup because I'm sure MIL is still working her way through an old metal container of chili powder because she uses so little!

Chili depends on the seasonings not the meat

In a vegetarian so my chili has to have beans otherwise it's sauce. I make a quinoa kidney bean chili that is awesome. The quinoa makes it the consistency of ground beef chili.

I've had plenty of chili with beans in Texas, so I'm not sure that's a hard rule. I don't have super strong feelings on it and enjoy trying different varieties. My dad often puts diced potato in his, which I'm sure offends many people but I think it's delicious.
The only chili that doesn't sound good to me at all is the Skyline/Cincinnati stuff.

Is it still chili if you put carrots in it? We do that a lot (everyone likes carrots).

My friend always puts potatoes in her chili! Her family is pretty sure it's not chili if it doesn't have potatoes!
And we always use ground beef and beans. I've made it with beef chunks and venison, both ground and chunks, and I've done the white chicken chili for a Chile cookoff once. it was pretty good.

Wouldn’t adding macaroni make it goulash?
Growing up in the Midwest, chili was ground beef, tomatoes, red kidney beans, onions, and green peppers.
Living in the Southwest has introduced many variations—chunks of beef, chicken, venison, lamb, and I’m sure many others.
I have to admit though, I don’t think I’ve ever had chili with sausage. Or with mushrooms. Both sound good though.

Ground beef. No onions - my brother and I both hate them. . Uneure about the beans. I can't remember.

Wouldn’t adding macaroni make it goulash? Growing up we called that chili mac. One part of my family is from northern Wisconsin and chili mac was a regular menu item. The Kentucky contingent think chili with macaroni is some kind of heresy because chili is served with cornbread in their estimation. |

Ground beef, not hamburger, and no beans or tomatoes. Isn't ground beef and hamburger the same thing? |

Not too sure of that article. Red Chili is definitely still in Mexico and not just in the tourist places. |

I use ground meat (sometimes turkey, sometimes beef, sometimes both depending on what I have in the refrigerator) and no beans, though I have sometimes used lentils and frozen corn to up the nutrition and stretch the number of servings.
