I’m making some very basic chili. I have a can of black beans thats near expiry. Will adding it to my chili ruin it? It would be a 2:1 ratio of kidney beans to black beans.

    Any Texan will tell you if it has beans it’s not actually Chili

    I’m a Texan and I’ve always found posturing like that to be a little silly. Like people who make a huge deal about how little vermouth they think goes into a martini.

    To clarify, I like chili with or without beans, according to my mood at the time. Chili with beans in a situation that calls for chili is still better than no chili.

      Written half in jest, to be honest. I used to be anti-bean, but I’ve grown to like the difference in texture. But there’s a lot of “get a rope” purists around here with regards to beans in chili.
