A little secret......if beans aren't allowed, Puree some and make it part of the juice.But Texan’s are idiots! As long as it’s not Cincinnati or Greek style, I’m fine with most chili, with or without beans. It’s meat stew after all.
For the record. I think we’d rather have the first place chilli recipe
I actually didn't say that.
You have to cook chili in a competition according to what the judges prefer.
Tx, no beans hotter than hell.
Indiana, no heat. The further north one goes, the less heat.
