People that cook and enjoy eating chili: do you add beans to the recipe

Depends. I don’t love them, but I’m okay with kidney beans in there every now and again just to switch it up

In the UK, some people, put baked beans in...

I make vegan chilli, would be very boring without the beans! 🫘

@Mou well this is just criminal.

I think it's regional. We always do beans. I think Texas style is no beans. I tried a recipe once without any and really didn't care for it.

I’m vegetarian now but my chili has always been majority beans. Carrots onion celery are a must as well. I also put corn sometimes

I think beans are needed in a chilli but my partner hates the texture so I blend them up.

Yes beans. And kale.

I HATE beans in chilli! But that's how all of my family members make it..
