just cant bring myself to call it chile when it's not.
I'm usually not much on minutia, but its my understanding that chili has no beans and that chili with beans is actually chili con carne.

the mccormicks is a very good base and the recipe on the pack is easy and good. i like extra cumin, chili powder and onion in mine and kidney beans. even throw in a can of black beans if i think about it. and i like it on elbow macaroni too. i don't care what its called, chili, bean soup, whatever.

Chile con carne translates to, chile(peppers) with meat...no mention of beans(frijoles). When I lived and worked in El Paso in the '70s, that's what the mezcan day laborers ate for lunch; 1/4" cubes of diced hot chiles and meat sauteed and mixed together with nothing else.

This is my "go to" chili recipe. I usually add 3- 4 chopped jalapeno's and/or 3- 4 chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. I highly recommend trying this with the grated swiss cheese.
Red Game Chili By executive chef, John Schumacher Serves 6- 8
Ingredients 1 Tbsp olive oil 2 lbs. ground game meat 3 cups diced onion 2 cups sliced celery 2 cloves garlic, minced 3 cups diced tomatoes w/juice (canned diced tomatoes) 1 cup tomato sauce 1 cup dry red wine (cabernet sauvignon or merlot) 1 Tbsp beef base (this is a little jar of paste you find at the grocery store) 1 Tbsp chili powder 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp red pepper flakes 1 tsp salt ½ tsp ground cumin ¼ tsp cinnamon 3 cups canned kidney beans, drained (optional)
For serving: Garnish with shredded swiss cheese, sour cream In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add meat, garlic, onions and celery. Cook until meat is browned. Add remaining ingredients, except kidney beans, and cover. Bake in a 350°F oven for 1 ½ hours. Add kidney beans (Optional), combine and bake for 1 more hour. Adjust chili powder or red pepper flakes to taste. (This is not going to have a thick sauce.) Note: Feel free to experiment by adding chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, jalapeno’s or other ingredients.

No beans, no tomatoes, just quality red chile sauce, and meat simmered to thick gravy. Refried beans on the side and a good flour tortilla to mop it up with, hard to beat the real deal. I will eat chile bean soup and enjoy it, just cant bring myself to call it chile when it's not. Wife’s family is from Northern NM. I got schooled. MIL makes a breakfast out of sheep with red chile, fried potatoes, eggs, and fresh tortillas. Holy fook is it good.
