Deadly serious and not at all lighthearted: Baked beans in Chile con Carne - yay or nay?

[Pacif1cDogwood]

There is only ONE correct answer.

Vote if you dare.
#BakedBeansInEverything

I think the --hell- Nos are in the majority.

It is upsetting how many of you can be so wrong

Yay!

I use them but I wash the sauce off first, so they're just haricot beans really.

I'm going with all different types of beans in a Chilli. Those tins of mixed beans you can buy, I throw a tin of them in. Or just kidney. Or good old baked beans. Do you ever use chopped steak/beef strips instead of mince beef? Also good

No

Of course!
We have baked been and mixed beans in ours.

But then I am also partial to cheesy beans and rice thanks to my dear old grandad.

Without having rtft,

God no 🤮 what the hell are you thinking? They shouldn't be anywhere near a good chilli.

Nopity Nopity No

No way!

Utterly disgusting idea.

Baked beans should never be put in anything. They go on toast or chips or with food, never in cooking.

Having now rtft,

God no 🤮, what the hell are you thinking? They shouldn't be anywhere near a good chilli.

Yay, always baked beans for me.I can't stand kidney beans.

(not envy)

Baked beans are the Devil's food

Just no

I voted no as I thought you were being lazy and it also sounded disgusting. But now I see others have recommended it I'm now thinking I've wasted time and also possibly missed out. And thinking about it I don't actually like kidney beans anyway.

What about chickpeas? They're nicer. Or is that just going too far?

Chickpeas at a push.
Kidney beans - hell yeah!
Baked beans. No, no, and a thousand times no.

They belong on toast.

No it's not proper, the sauce of the baked beans would infiltrate the carefully contrstructed chilli sauce.

Never.

I don't even really like baked beans and I think they're lush in chilli. All you naysayers are wrong wrong wrong

No, baked beans are a sugary abomination. And don't use mince either. Slow cook some beef cheek in stock with a large dried chilli, then add black beans, or kidney at a push.

YAY

Yes but I put about 5 types of beans in my chilli 😂

No, but I hate all pulses with a violent passion and make my chilli without kidney beans.

Absolutely YES! Gives it a lovely sweetness, and none of us like kidney beans much.

I came on here,to say what a fucking disgusting idea

Then I thought of all the times I’ve not made chilli when I had mince and really fancied it because I didn’t have a tin of kidney beans and how I don’t even bloody well like kidney beans anyway. What the Fuck was I ever thinking. #teamBakedbeans

Yay!
