Beaner Chili

OK, so I have been catching alot of flak because my chili recipe contains--sit down now-- Beans! Well excuuuuuuse me. Look at it this way, do you want a chili that tastes "authentic" or do you want a chili that tastes great?

I'll admit, my chili recipe is a bit on the unorthodox side, but if you follow the directions and cook that sucker real slow, it thickens up nicely and offers a veritable cornucopia of deliciousness.

So go ahead, participants in the Sgt Hook Charity Chili Cook-Off Blogstyle, mock me, ridicule me, laugh at my beans, question my chilinary abilities, in the end only one bowl will be hailed as Chilicious and it has my name all over it.

So far we have had a few entrants:

The Venomous one has her "Yes It's High-Maintenance And So Am I " Chili.
And Dale of Mostly Cajunstarted his blog just for the chili contest.

And that's it. Only three people with enough guts to post their recipe.

Hook, I hear alot of smack baby, but I dont see no recipe. You gonna walk the walk or what?

UPDATE: The Sgt. has posted his recipe finally.We also have a recipe from Bogie Blog entered.

Hey, don't feel bad; I thought that chili was *supposed* to contain beans until I married my husband, a Texan. He was appalled! :D

Val:

We made a debased version of your chili -- more soup, less juice, no cascabella peppers, weak coffee -- but included the dried mustard and every damn bean; and it was fantastic -- okay, okay, chilicious. Yer damn right we had it for breakfast!

I'm going to do it right next time, very soon. Hey, I've been in the Southwest almost thirty years, I've eaten all kinds of chili from one end of this dusty galaxy to the other, and yours has a dark, dark flavor like no other.

By the way, here, when you put the jalapenos in, they stay in. "Remove jalapenos" is almost not English out here.

Dale's purity, I must say, is boring. You think those chuckwagon chefs wouldn't have given their best dinner bell for some great spices and peppers?

I still have a little bowl in the fridge. Bye, now . . .
