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.

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
