    Pot-O-Chili

    You start a chili recipe in a 2 gallon pot. To bean or not to bean?

    I bean, because without beans it's just another pot of Descuidado Joe.

    When does a pot of chili go from chili to becoming stew?

    Chili is stew--stew Tejas style. I don't bean myself, but have had much good beaned chili over the years. These days, though, the only chili I make is Puerco con Chile Verde. Simple, good, cheap. Let me know if you want the recipe.

    I would say that a stew has more veggies and a broth based sauce over the tomato you find in a chili.

    I bean my chili because that is the way momma did it.

    You probably don't use diced clams either.

    Hello.

    Chili IS stew, Mexican style!
    Adding beans is really a matter of choice but normally beans are added to make it last longer, a cheap extender for when times are hard, not something to be preferred.

    I though you were a Mexicano yourself, Don Rudolfo. Can't be, though, because a real Mexican would never consider chili a Mexican dish. It's purely Tejas.

    Beans: because without them, there is no bubble bath later.
