If you make it you can call it chili. Hell, you can CALL it anything you want to. It may not be chili but you can call it so if you want. I know folks who call bologna round steak.
As to beans in chili if you like them nothing wrong with adding them to your bowl. Just please don't cook them in with your chili. Cook them separate and add them. One thing chili isn't is vegetable soup or bean stew.
You can add lots of things to your bowl as condiments if it strikes your fancy. Some likes chopped hard boiled egg, some likes cheese, some likes chopped ripe olives, some likes sour cream, some likes chopped avacado.
Just please please don't futz with the basic bowl of red.
Which is fine standing on its own.

My church is having a chilli cookoff this coming Sunday. Do I take the NYC version or do I cook "real" chilli? Would the NYC version be disqualified on a number of levels?
What do I do? Better check to see if my priest is from Texas!

The quality of the primary seasoning for Chili (Chili powder) to me is the key to good chili. You can't use just any powder and have the results up to snuff. Way back, when I was stationed near San Antonio, TX there was a local brand of chili called Gebhardts. It was just the best. If you followed the simple recipe on the side of the bottle, you'd have a pot of chili that somebody's Momma would get slapped over. I'm advised they were bought out by some larger food conglomerate and now all gone. Anybody have a recommendation for a GOOD chili powder brand? Don

Bart- Off topic.......... Do you use Fiesta's Fajita seasoning? ![[Linked Image]](http://www.fiestaspices.com/images/products/fajitaseasoning_sm.jpg) I used to get that when we had to live down in America for a while. I used it on EVERTHING from eggs to chicken to beef to game; in the kitchen or on the grill. I have not seen it up here. I use Spice Supreme now - pretty similar.
If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.

Don, Gebhardts is still around but it isn't as good as it used to be. Fiesta like Bart uses is a lot better. I like Adams Chili powder better than Fiesta. Adams is made in Gonzales, Tx www.AdamsExtract.com Tex Joy is pretty good too and I doubt you can find it but there is one that is prime which even I can't always find called Tia Rosa and I have never seen it save in some Mexican grocery stores.

I just blend my own seasonings. I want a different blend for venison, than I do for beef. I want to be able to adjust the heat and taste. Commercial mixes are usually WAY heavy on salt. I prefer to cook with very little salt, and season just before serving.
Besides, my blend just plain tastes better than commercial stuff.

What a way to waste fig jam! Indeed, fig jam belongs on a good fresh homemade biscuit.
