Beans for me too unless it is  hotdog chili.

Depends on the mood.

Off course, just not those huge kidney beans. Chopped up smoked beef is a plus too !!

Beans if I'm making a casserole to eat, without if I'm going to use it as a sauce, as for spaghetti, etc.  Can always add beans later - I like pinto beans and white beans.

Can't picture chili without tomah-toes....??

Yep.

Yes.  Beans on the hot dogs too with cheese & onion.

No beans in my chili. But I do put some crinkle cut carrots in mine; adds a nice texture.

In 2020 the beans are mandatory..........they help with enforcing social distancing.

i started using joe coopers world championship chili recipe about 15 yrs ago. no tomato, but plenty chili powder. now i don't care for tomatoes in chili. reminds me of spaghetti sauce. not that i won't eat it, just prefer it without.

Black beans and tomatoes please.
 If I try it differently, I may just like it. But it would be a novelty. Like moms meatloaf, some things just can’t change or they just ain’t quite right.

agree with no beans on the chili dog though.

I like to use beans myself. I use ground deer or ground wild hog, mild chili seasoning, Tomato sauce, black beans, white beans, light or dark kidney beans, can or two of sweet corn... sometimes a little Tony  Chaserie seasoning too..

If you are from Texas, beans in chili is a killing offense, but I'm not from Texas

I googled "Texas Chili recipe".. no beans or tomato in real Texas Chili, lots of pepper and some onion..

I like beans. They're good for your heart.......you know the rest.

Needs jalapeños

light kidney beans, dark kidney beans & black beans.  yes sir, even black beans!
also, at least 3 different color peppers & prefer red onions over yellow onions.
prefer ground wild hog & use ground venison as a back up.  We haven't bought ground beef in over 10 years.  taste great and all the colors look "pretty."
