Chili recipes (without beans?)

[FutureCouponer]

Hello! I have been wanting to make my SO chili, as it is one of his fave meals.

Does anyone have a chili recipe omitting beans? (I hate beans, I am not sure if they are a requirement for chili?) I would love to use the crockpot if possible for this.

I have a problem with textures of food, I hate anything mushy. (ie cooked beans) Yep, I am a weird one. My SO just thought I was the worlds pickiest eater until he realized that it really is just the texture that turns me off of certain foods. When we have kids, they are doomed, I will try not to brain wash them.

But if your husband likes beans, maybe you could add some to his portion. I can't imagine chili without beans, but I make mine without meat so no beans too would be just spicy vegetable soup. Hope it works out for you.

I don't always use beans in my chili, sometimes I add rice (already cooked separately!) corn, or hominy.

If you don't like regular beans because of the texture, try some kidney beans or chickpeas.

We like our chili really spicy, so I add lots of jalapenos and hot sauce!

You can make any chili recipe without the beans. I make mine without, as I am allergic to beans!!

I brown my meat, drain the grease. Add tomato sauce and chili powder, to taste. I also add chuncks of potatoes in mine (that's how my mom always made chili)

I also use a little worcestershire sauce and pepper when browning the meat.
