Is Chili Without Beans Good? (Texas Style Chili + Bonus Cornbread Recipe)
Thanks to Bespoke Post for sponsoring this video. Get 20% off your first monthly box when you sign up at and use promo code LAGERSTROM20 at checkout! There’s a serious debate happening in the comments of my Chili video about whether or not chili should have beans so I decided to try my hand at the infamous Texas style chili con carne. Would I like it without the magical fruit?

TEXAS CHILI RECIPE
------
▪5lb or 2.5kg of boneless beef chuck roast (or boneless short ribs)
▪Neutral oil (canola, grapeseed, avocado etc)
▪20g (3-4 chiles depending on size) dried guajillo chile
▪20g (3-4 chiles depending on size) dried chipotle chile
▪20g (3-4 chiles depending on size) dried ancho chile
▪1000g or 1L beef stock + additional 300-500g
▪3g or 3tsp dried oregano
▪5g or 2tsp black pepper
▪10g or 1 3/4Tbsp ground cumin
▪3g 1tsp cinnamon
▪10g 1 ½Tbsp cocoa
▪1 large white onion, medium diced
▪1 poblano, medium diced
▪5 cloves of garlic, minced
▪50g or 3 1/2Tbsp tomato paste
▪Salt
▪15g or 1Tbsp hot sauce
▪10-15g or 1/2Tbsp molasses
▪10g or 2/3Tbsp apple cider vinegar
Cut beef into 1 1/2 inch or 3-4cm chunks, removing any large chunks of fat. Add to bowl with a glug/squeeze of oil and large pinch of salt. Mix to coat, spread beef chunks onto a sheet tray, and place under broiler (on high) to brown for about 15-20min until seared.
Place chiles on a plate and “toast” in a microwave for 60 sec. You can also do this in an oven.
Remove stems and seeds from chiles and add to a blender with 1000g/1L beef stock, oregano, black pepper, cumin, cinnamon and cocoa and blend for 1-2 minutes until a deeper red/brown color has developed.
Preheat large heavy bottom pot over med high heat. Switch oven temp to 275F/135C.
When pot on the stovetop is hot, add in a squeeze/glug of olive oil followed by chopped onions and poblanos and pinch of salt. When veg begins to caramelize add minced garlic and continue to saute for about another minute until fragrant. Add in chile puree (from above). Reduce heat to med low and add tomato paste and stir to combine. Add in beef and drippings and 300-500g of stock to create a more chili like consistency. Stir and braise (lid on) at 275F/135C for 90 minutes. After 90 minutes ladle off excess beef fat from top of chili. Load back into oven, (lid off) for another hour.
After 2.5 hours total cook time, check beef for resistance. It should easily shred apart, but not be mushy. Ladle off excess fat from top again. Taste for seasoning. Stir in hot sauce, molasses, vinegar, and pinch of salt to taste. Stir and taste for seasoning.

Measuring Cup (Affiliate Link):
Conversion Magnet (Affiliate Link):
Ingredients
5 strips uncooked bacon chopped*
1 large yellow onion diced (about 1 cup)
1 red pepper diced
3 cloves garlic minced (about 1 Tablespoon)
1 lb ground beef 455g
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 Tablespoon chili powder**
1 Tablespoon ancho chili powder**
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoons ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper***
1 1/4 cup beef broth 295ml
15 oz dark red kidney beans lightly rinsed and drained (425g)
15 oz black beans lightly rinsed and drained (425)
14.5 oz diced fire roasted tomatoes undrained (411g)
1 7- oz can fire roasted green chilis 198g
1/4 cup tomato paste 66g
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Preferred toppings particularly sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and corn chips
Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:29 Place chopped (uncooked) bacon in a large pot or Dutch oven and cook over medium heat until crisp and cooked through. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate and drain all but 1 1/2 Tablespoons of grease.
01:17 Add onion and pepper and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
01:33 Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
01:45 Add beef, breaking apart with a spatula as you cook. Once meat is partially (about 50%) browned, add sugar and all spices (chili powders, paprika, cumin, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper) and stir well.
02:52 Add all remaining ingredients -- beef broth, beans, tomatoes, tomato paste, chilis, and Worcestershire sauce -- and your cooked bacon and stir well.
03:33 Bring to a boil and cook 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
03:45 Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 30 minutes to allow flavor to really develop.
04:05 Serve with preferred toppings (sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and corn chips are a must!)
Notes
*For best flavor, DO NOT OMIT THE BACON. However, as someone who spent 23 years not eating bacon I wanted to include tips for those of you who might have the same restrictions. if you wish to make this recipe without bacon you *can* do so by skipping the first step, heating 1 1/2 Tablespoons of oil over medium heat, and then beginning from step 2. On the other hand, if you want additional bacon for garnishing, cook it now and reserve.
**You can substitute one chili powder for the other and use just traditional chili powder or just ancho chili powder, but I personally like the blend of the two.
*** This gives the chili a mild spice, if you like more heat increase to 1/4 teaspoon for a moderate spice. Add additional cayenne pepper at your own risk!

Fake “Chili.” Beware of this stuff!
I bought a can of “Chili Sauce” thinking it was the cake thing as chili. Chili sauce and coil are NOT the same. #TexasTailgate #ChiliSauce #SoyChili
♦️ What’s the difference between a can of Texas Tailgate “chili sauce” and a can of hormek chili?
Hormel chili and Texas tailgate chili sauce are different types of chili products that have some notable differences.
Hormel chili is a canned, ready-to-eat chili that typically contains a combination of beef, beans, and a tomato-based sauce. Hormel chili is available in different varieties, including with or without beans, and can be used as a topping for hot dogs or as a standalone meal.
Texas tailgate chili sauce, on the other hand, is a chili sauce that is typically used as a cooking ingredient or a condiment. It is not a ready-to-eat meal like Hormel chili. Texas tailgate chili sauce is often made with ground beef, chili powder, tomatoes, onions, and various spices, and can be used as a base for chili con carne or as a sauce for burgers or other dishes.
Overall, the main difference between Hormel chili and Texas tailgate chili sauce is that Hormel chili is a canned, ready-to-eat meal, while Texas tailgate chili sauce is a sauce or ingredient used in cooking. Additionally, the specific ingredients, flavor profile, and intended use of the products may differ as well.

♦️ What are the ingredients in a can of Texas tailgate chili sauce?
Soy grits are a food product made from ground soybeans that have been toasted and cracked into small pieces. They are often used as a protein-rich ingredient in various dishes, including soups, stews, and casseroles.
A can of chili sauce typically refers to a spicy sauce made from chili peppers, spices, and often includes other ingredients like tomatoes, onions, and garlic. It can be used as a condiment or an ingredient in various dishes, such as chili con carne, tacos, and enchiladas.
The purpose of combining soy grits and a can of chili sauce would depend on the specific recipe or dish you are making. For example, you could use the soy grits as a vegetarian substitute for ground meat in a chili con carne recipe, and the chili sauce would provide the spicy and flavorful base for the dish. Alternatively, you could mix the soy grits and chili sauce together to make a dip or a spread for crackers or vegetables.
