It’s true, in Texas there are no beans in chile. But I secretly make Chile beans at home, with kidney beans. Dont tell anyone from Texas.
Why do you think I’m considering moving to Nevada?
Thanks to Sheldon Cooper, I knew that there are no beans in chili! Lol - so many cute little facts gleaned from that show.

Actually during the depression era the Midwest States and many Southern States started to add beans as a way to stretch a meal with the same flavor of no bean chili. Still high protein and less expensive meat or no meat fit the bill. Oklahoma and Kansas actually added not just beans, but spaghetti to stretch it even further during the Dustbowl. Most people had plenty of stored wheat and beans at the time. It was also made this way in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and many other states during this time to help extend a meal to serve more. To this day the chili in Kansas City with spaghetti remains a State specialty.

Same here.
Sometimes....it just makes the deliciousness of chili....a whole meal :-)
Well, that....and, some cornbread baked in a cast iron skillet (with a couple of T of bacon grease).
Wait....NV????
No fair!
Can I come visit?
I put beans in my chili more often than not, but I have also tried several different chilis without them.
I have a nice one in one of the cookbooks that I am recalling.
Now all I have to do is recall which cookbook it is in!
*evil grin
