As it is real cold here in Georgia. Cold enough for us to close the schools due to a massive snow fall. About 1"

Decided to do Chili. Got the red beans soaking over night. Mid morning I start with the ground beef the onions then measure out the spices. It all goes in the pot and is bubbling away nicely. Add the tomatoes and some stock. Without giving it a second thought I add the beans only to realize I have not boiled the beans. They have been soaked but not boiled so they are still hard.
So I had to sort through the chili to find all the beans. Hope I got them all.

The Snow got me off track.

Turned out good and have not found any hard beans yet.

I'm jealous!

...gotta whip up a good Navy bean soup tomorrow!
 
I made chili the other night myself. I don't tend to put beans in my chili, but tonight I'll probably start soaking some beans for dinner tomorrow.
 
Beans in chili? Blasphemy! A curse upon the palate!

Real chili (Texas chili ...) has no beans! (or tomatoes!)

That, gentlemen, is a real bowl o' red.

I've also seen macaroni added to chili. Cook must be from another planet .
 
My wife does put red kidney beans in her chili and, while it may not qualify as "real Texas chili" it is nevertheless very good. In fact, she won 1st place is a base-wide chili cookout a few years ago.
 
I must ask the Texan members forgiveness but it is a British recipe for Chili Con Carne not the traditional Texan recipe. It is still good.

I remembered a long time ago a nationally recognized cook published a slow cooker chili recipe. Some time later they had to publish a correction as they had not made it very clear that the Red Kidney Beans must be boiled first before adding to the slow cooker. There were a number of people that were made very sick.
That is why I wanted to remove all the uncooked beans.

David, no need to apologize, Texans get pretty uppity about things they slap the appellation "Texas" on.

They have never even admitted that the proper name of their state is Baja Oklahoma.

Spelling mistake. Should be "Bah, Oklahoma". :jester:

As an Oklahoma friend tells me, how do you get to Texas? You walk toward the smell, then stop when you've stepped in it.

That's absolutely true Tom. About the smell not about bah, Oklahoma.
 
I lived and worked in Lubbock Texas, it was a nice town, but if the wind got in the wrong direction, the smell from the stock yards would kill you! :rolleyes2: :pukeface:
