    Texan here, and yes we do use beans. Tomatoes we do not. On the cattle drive you didn’t have such luxuries.Tomatoes didn’t stay fresh on the journey, but dried beans, dried chilis, and beef…there was plenty of that. What sets Texas chili apart from most is that the cattle drive tradition is still practiced. Any chili that uses tomatoes and no beans is not traditional.

    " It was good "
    pmarmorris ate it and said...
    I made this recipe a few years ago, using some substitutes for a couple of brand-name ingredients I was unable to locate. The results were good, almost as good as the 90s-era Wolf Brand Chili. I used vegetable oil instead of lard, 'cause I don't need a can of lard or shortening for anything else. I'm sure that changed the flavor somewhat. The blend of chili spices is intoxicating!

    Does this recipe taste anything like Wolf Brand chili? No its missing a very important seasoning.

    we texans tend not to do beans in our chilis :)

    How do you think this would be using chicken instead?
