I know, I know, it's unnecessary cruelty...but you can just make some the way you like it fellas

I'd eat it! I'd also eat that pure Texas stuff. And about everything in between, for that matter.

Looks just like what I make!!!

Beans,beans,beans

I've never had the authentic Texas stuff and I don't think that I'd know if I got it right if I made it.
I'd love to try it though.

Looks good but to soupy. I like mine thick and chunky.

It's got another 2-3 hours to cook plus a tablespoon of tomato paste yet to go in

Yep, mine has more beans than his pic, but otherwise it's really close looking.

It thickens up a bit at 30 below.

I cook for a lot of folks over here, for different occasions and invariably they ask for a pot of beans to be cooked separately. Half of them then add the beans to their bowl of texas red. For me, I cook with beans in my chili, but I'm a coon a ss transplant lol.

No beans = NOT real Chili.

Agreed! I also make it a bit thin and add cooked elbow macaroni noodles when I make a bowl. I know, it's blasphemy but I don't care

Nice work,Slydogx.

Wait- how come ya haven’t added the noodles yet ???
You are planning on adding the. noodles to make it a proper chili -right ??

I don’t see any whole kernel corn in it either.. what’s the heck’s goin on in here?
(There that oughta tick off a few Texans. Lol.) Looks good!

Here is the pot of chili I just made.

What is with people putting CORN in chili? I can think of all kinds of things to say about that, and ain't none of them nice.

Getting close to a goulash with all those veggies in it lol

I put chunks of STEAK in my chilli. Along with onions Beans Jalpenos Green Peppers Hot Peppers Corn and then More Beans on the side as well as Macaroni on the side. It has to be THICK too then the next Morning I make Chilli Omelletes with the left overs.
