Idk how you’re supposed to eat this like hot soup of nothing but ground beef and tomato paste without beans and veggies to give it some kind of depth. Texans are incorrect about chili

texas’ official dish is chili con carne, which traditionally uses larger chunks of something like a chuck roast or other stewing cuts, and doesn’t include tomatoes. it’s usually a ‘sauce’ made of toasted and pureed peppers and stock.

that said, i like beans in my chili and i do like the tomatoe-y, vegetable filled version. they’re not wrong though, it’s just a different (and older, really) recipe.

Beanless chili should use stew meat or something with actual texture.

It’s a beef producing state and naturally the dish reflects that.

They’re not wrong, real authentic chili is just stewed peppers and meat, no tomatoes, no beans. It’s also a totally different dish than regular American chili.
