Chili cheese fries, dhili con carne (rice and chips), dip bread, and cheese, or just a bowl of it like Chili’s Restaurant…. and a pint of Guinness…. muy bueno…

Ah, the “no beans for you” syndrome. I’m not a huge fans of beans by themselves, but they’re OK in chili. To save money, you’d increase the bean-to-meat ratio but it’s really a matter of taste.

How do you each chili as a standalone w/o beans?

Have to disagree, but it’s all a matter of taste. My mother-in-law (z”l) told me that beef broth is used if you make it too spicy. Beef broth can replace bean juice, too. But tomatoes? Never!

Heh. Let’s have a chili cook-off, eh?

I agree on the tomatoes, but, only as far as “condiment” chili goes. If I’m making stand alone chili, then it has crushed tomatoes in it. If it’s condiment, I replace the tomatoes with beef broth. (about 1 can)…
