And don’t say beans or I’ll reach through the internet and punch you in the face.
Beans, mf
Fucking BEANS is the answer
And onion, garlic, tomato, Bell pepper
But LOTS OF BEANS is the most correct answer
A can of Guinness never hurts
Really depends on how hard it’s thrown
Vodka
A bottle of India Pale Ale. A variety of beans: butter, kidney, northern, lentils, etc.
Beans, peppers, garlic, salt, black pepper, onions, corn, beans, more beans, cumin, possibly some ground pork, as well as beans.
Also, tomato paste, some hot sauce, and beans!!!
…hamburger?
A lot of people say “hamburger” when they mean “ground beef.”
Update: It turns out I had more time than I thought to make the chili. Since everyone had a viscerally negative reaction to my use of bloody mary mix, I swapped it out, though I’m not sure my substitution will fare any better, namely V8 juice and tomato paste.
beans
Beans. Punch away. I would take the meat out of chili before the beans.
Tomatoes or tomato paste, spoonful of unsweetened chocolate, some red wine. And why the heck did you not start with an onion?
SALT, garlic, onion, tomatoes, and obviously beans, your threat be damned it’s the right call
Legumes.
I smite thee in thy countenance from across the internetwork.
Ouchie, got me right in the TCP stack
Careful, thats region dependent. You’re likely to get attacked if you add beans to chili in some parts.
“Add” beans to chili? It’s a bean dish! The main ingredient is beans!
You could always add some more, or even more kinds.
Fuck regions, I cook for tasty not tradition
Beans aren’t legumes homie, peanuts are though…
Beans are definitely legumes, though? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legume
What, why not beans? I know beans was a meme on Lemmy a while back, but it’s a legit part of a chilli recipe.
Serious question.
Beans (and rice, lentils, breadcrumbs, etc) are banned from chili competitions, because they’re considered filler. So no, it’s not a legit part of a chili recipe. If you have beans in it, as far as a chili competition is concerned, you just made some really thick bean soup.
I’m pretty sure OP is making chili to eat, not for a competition.
I just don’t like beans; it’s the texture. Also there’s a debate in more serious chili circles whether chili ought to have beans. At the end of the day I don’t care as long as I don’t have to eat it.
In addition to my advice on your bloody Mary abomination chili
Around 10 or 15 years ago, I learned this chili recipe from this comic I probably found on Reddit. It has always served me well, and it is the basis for how I make chili today
To this recipe I also add some chili peppers, usually jalapenos (because otherwise it’s not chili)
A can of chipotles in adobo
I’ve tweaked the ratios spice blend a bit to my taste and added a bit of cocoa powder and cinnamon.
It should probably be noted that I tend to make bigger batch, often working with 2-5lbs of meat (and I prefer coarse ground or something even finely cubed meat as opposed to regular grocery store ground meat)
I usually have 2 or 3 different cans of beans in mine because I like beans
I’ll usually do 2 or 3 bell peppers, usually of different colors
Some bacon, some chorizo
Screw that “a shot of beer” it gets a whole can. Occasionally wine instead if that’s what I’m drinking while I’m cooking.
Often some coffee and/or various liquors (whiskey, rum, tequila, or Brandy)make their way into the mix at some point. Sometimes there’s beef stock involved.
I also pay really fast and loose about what canned tomato products go into my pot, whole, crushed, diced, sauce, doesn’t matter too much, it’s all gonna cook down into unrecognizable red-brown deliciousness by the time I’m done. Just try to get roughly that sort of ratio of tomato products to beef
For bonus points, get your cowboy on and do this in a pot hanging from a tripod over a campfire.
Normally I end up letting this simmer for up to around 6 hours. If it starts looking too thick/dry, add some liquid, usually beer in my case.

Please don’t add bloody mary mix.
One small diced onion, two minced garlic cloves, two diced celery stalks, ~12 oz diced tomatoes, two tablespoons tomato paste, one teaspoon worchestershire, two cups beef stock, half teaspoon sugar, salt and paper.
Simmer a minimum of two hours but four is better.
What would you add to a pound of hamburger, diced jalapenos, chili powder and bloody mary mix?
A warning that what you’re about to eat is not chili?
Actual vegetables and spices. Ditch the bloody mary mix and use stock instead. I would add beans because what most of the world calls chili has them and I like them, but you do you, I guess.
