That has beans in it - that’s not chili! That’s a pot of beans with some meat....

I made some “real Texas Chili” from a recipe I found on the internet. No beans, no tomato’s or tomato sauce. The stuff looked like a big cow patty.

Hehe, my wife, from Ohio, introduced me to that. It’s, um, different.

I guess if you grow up with something it seems normal - I had never even heard of anyone putting chili on pasta until I married.... I guess I lead a sheltered life. ;^)

“That chili with the beans in that picture is not from Texas.”

Looks like how my family makes it in New Mexico. Mmmm, mmmm. Tastes so much better with pintos. You chili snobs can keep your 1/2 finished version. The pintos may be a side dish (also vey delicious), but your stuff is a condiment.

Tell me, do they make sopapillas in Texas?

Wow, I posted the same pic without seeing that you had already done so.

TCP is just a few miles from my home, I may have to stop in this evening.

I feel real bad for people that have never had a real “bowl of red”, and for those poor souls that throw beans in a pot of chili. Seems so wrong to me.

I also remember that what we called “New Mexico” chili had cheese in it, and of course, the beans. It was sort of a joke.

Our family recipe calls for a 1/4 cup of Bourbon to flavor the meat before the chili powder, peppers, etc. go in. Known as “Firewater Chili”.

Way too many beans in some of that “chili”.
