Silly or not that's just the way it is. Chili con Carne roughly translated is Chili with Meat. I'm positive your Mother's pot was wonderful as most of our Mother's renditions were but my fellow Texan, it was Chili Beans. Don't take my word alone, Google Chili Beans and see the amount of recipes you get for that search!

Give me a break people. If you dont like beans in it fine, but to add an ingredient and say it's therefore NOT something because of one ingredient is beyond silly. Apparently this chili was made because it was cheap and they had it on hand, didnt they have beans on hand? Oh well I grew up IN Texas w/my mother making chili WITH beans in it. It's ironic because typically I will not eat beans, I simply do not like the taste of them on their own. But mix them w/chili and all they yumminess of the chili makes it the bean combo just right. I enjoy a mix of textures, w/o the beans something seems less than, something missing. Also they are a healthy food group. You say no to beans and I say yes to beans and I still call it chili. Oh I also like eating them w/frito's corn chips, it use to be saltine crackers but I like frito's much more. If “Texas Chili” can have MSG in it, it certainly can have beans in it!

I'll even go so far as to call it 'spicy bean soup' but that's the best I can do. Texas chili doesn't contain legumes, that's how it is. Too many people are sensitive to MSG so it's best left out. I think it's ok to use sea salt (not the expensive variety, the stuff they sell at bobsredmill.com is just fine) but hide the bag cuz if anyone sees it they'll think yer a goldang city slicker. <abbr><em>Don Crowder’s last blog post..<a href="http://don-guitar.blogspot.com/2009/03/can-someone-loan-me-regfly-swatter.html" rel="nofollow">Can someone loan me a (reg)fly swatter?</a></em></abbr> If it has beans, it’s soup.

You guys need to get together and collaborate on some chili. He made a chili a couple of weeks ago and used dark chocolate as an ingredient, it went well with the peppers.

Still, I think it worked out just fine without. Lots of products use msg, but it really isn’t such a bad thing if you aren’t sensitive to it. Still, I think it worked out just fine without.

Side note - I switched from Badia brand adobo to Goya (best two available in New England) because Badia puts MSG in everything. Then I noticed on a Goya "seasoning" package that it was marked <b>No Salt Added!</b>. Well, they didn't need to, since they added MSG!
