Question for the Texans

Any of y'all have a good Texas style chili recipe? I know I could just google it, but thought maybe one of y'all have a time tested secret family recipe you'd be willing to share.

“It ain’t chili if it’s got beans in it…….now that’s some darn good…chili ! “ Colby quote, from Yellowstone

I'm a Louisiana transplant to Texas. Always baffled me when I make chili over here, they always want a pot of pinto beans cooked also. Most of them would put a big spoonful of beans in their bowl of chili! WTH just let me cook it with the beans for crying out loud.

I can take or leave the beans so long as there is some fresh diced onions (still crunchy) and cheddar cheese ro8 top each bowl off.

NO BEANS ? that would make it city peoples sipping soup.

I prefer Mexican chili Colorado myself , no beans and a slightly different flavor.

My wife makes an awesome elk chili. With or without beans doesn't matter to me.

Yotetrapper you can check out this website for some recipes

Just be aware that the competition recipes are NOT intended for family consumption. They are designed for one bite judging and are appropriately SPICY.. read hot!!

Spaghetti sauce...that's chili without beans

X 2

Gotta have beans, onions, and a big hand full of Frito's on top!

WHAT? Chips on bottom, then chili, then cheese, topped with sour cream...THAT'S a chili pie right there!

Jalipino cornbread crumbled up in chilie is awsome.give it a try if ya ain't never

Cornbread with Chili is great.

Now that sounds good!

X2 ... That's the way I make it!

The best chili is brown, not red, and your spoon should stand up in the middle of the bowl before you add the toppings. Oh, and cornbread is mandatory, and cinnamon rolls for dessert.

Chili and cinnamon rolls. Great cold weather meal right there.

On the competition page NONE of the recipes have beans in them.

It's not legit from Texas if it doesn't contain brisket.

Mark for the win!

I may be a dam-Yankee, but I know Texas chili when I taste it!
As I grab a cold one from a Yeti cooler at a Buc-ees gas station!

Fixed it for ya Mark.

Mark,,When I worked in Houston for a couple years,,i went to a Chilli cooking contest and tried some Armadilla Chilli.It actually was pretty good.
