Kidney beans and chickpeas
If not available, other tinned beans such as black beans, cannellini beans, pinto beans.
Baked beans would be at the bottom of the list.

MotherofPearl · 12/11/2020 20:11

OP, did you wash the slime sauce off the baked beans before you committed this abomination?

MistyGreenAndBlue · 12/11/2020 20:11

Nay. And I do.put baked beans in my mince with gravy. But in chilli? Ugh sounds disgusting.

stillsomewhatsheldonesque · 12/11/2020 20:13

In mince???? With gravy????

StCharlotte · 12/11/2020 20:14

No to baked beans in chilli.
Yes to baked beans in cottage pie.
Yes to butter beans in chilli.
So sue me.

JustBumblingAlong · 12/11/2020 20:15

YABU, but DH has converted me to adding them to Shepherds Pie

ThorFull · 12/11/2020 20:16

Yes in chilli.

No in shepherds pie, brownie camp 1993 🤢

Rollmopsrule · 12/11/2020 20:17

Yay

Fruitloopcowabunga · 12/11/2020 20:18

Absolutely NOT, way too mushy and squishy

AnnaSW1 · 12/11/2020 20:18

No!

PanamaPattie · 12/11/2020 20:18

Any bean will do. It's just chilli. Baked beans are a yes from me.

MiddlesexGirl · 12/11/2020 20:18

Baked beans are revolting and should have been banned before they were invented.

willowsmumsy · 12/11/2020 20:20

I have to put baked beans in as my 3 kids think red kidney beans are poisonous 🙄

Hoppinggreen · 12/11/2020 20:20

No, dirty bastards

Bargebill19 · 12/11/2020 20:21

Yes - if I’m short on ingredients and need to stretch it. Otherwise no.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 12/11/2020 20:21

Pinto beans, sweetcorn and sometimes black beans too. Never baked beans, because they make me think of fish eyes

Pacif1cDogwood · 12/11/2020 20:21

Baked bean sauce is lovely, kidney beans reside in Satan's spittle Envy

Baked beans all the way here!

Thepilotlightsgoneout · 12/11/2020 20:23

Fuck no.

Chicchicchicchiclana · 12/11/2020 20:23

Nay, nay and thrice nay! If you are having chilli con carne then you have kidney beans. FFS!!!!

Otoh, if you are having Shepherd's Pie and there happens to be a half tin of baked beans needing to be used up in your fridge = then that is perfectly asseptable.

lunalulu · 12/11/2020 20:24

Bloody hell no.

monkeytennis97 · 12/11/2020 20:25

NAY!!!

pourmeanotherglass · 12/11/2020 20:25

Nope
