Are you guys saying my Mother has been wrong all my life?
My Mom turns 85 next Wednesday. I will be there to celebrate this exciting milestone with her and family.
I have read several threads and comments about Chili. I am making Chili the way my mother, an excellent cook by the way, has made it since I was a child. She made chili with fresh tomatoes and other fresh ingredients. It contained Fresh ground beef, usually ground chuck or sirloin and of course kidney beans.
Are some of you claiming she has made Chili incorrectly for almost 70 years? Should I tell her the error of her ways on her birthday? If real Chili does not have kidney beans then what do you call it if kidney beans are part of the recipe?
I await your sage wisdom and input.
Stir, stir, stir....

Your mother is a wise woman and Mirriam Webster agrees with her;
Definition of CARNE
Carne is contained in 2 matches in Merriam-Webster Dictionary. See the full list.Tell her happy birthday from another chili with beans maker! Chili without beans is like a cake without frosting, not bad but could be better.😀 Bob

That is exactly the recipe I grew up with and how my wife makes chile today. I don't remember how chile was served when I was stationed on the South Texas border. I was too busy eating enchiladas.

As a kid I only knew chili was made one way. Which included Beans and hamburger it may not have been the pc way but we' all survived

The recipe I used for selling chili in my concession trailer had kidney beans.
I got compliments on the chili even from some Texans.
Always helped that it was made fresh that day.
Happy Birthday to your mother.

Your Mom has been correct all along.

It is a bad, muy bad policy to tell anyone that they were wrong after they have done so much for you over the years.

"No beans" seems to be a rule of chili cookout contests, but here in the Northern Tundra (MN), nobody I know holds to it.

When the South asked the North for the recipe for chili, it was gifted to them on their birthday and it contained beans, chili beans. What happened to the recipe since then is just a guess.
Again, Happy Birthday to bpost's Mom.

I will pass on your Birthday well-wishes to my mom. I will also reinforce her life long correct method of making Chili! I am sure she will be pleased to know of your approval.

As long as it tastes good and doesn't make you run for the bathroom, it's all good.

BTW, my mother made it the same way your mother makes it.

Limit the beans in the pot of chili to 239 beans. If you put one more in, it will make it Too Farty.
