Yes I know there are some that don't want beans in their chili...but I like em

Shelby's is a pretty good start. Wick Fowler's is good, too.

I'll have to look and see if I can find Wick Fowler's...around here its mostly Shelby's and McCormick...I am not a fan of the McCormick.

There is also a mix sold at the Bass Pro store that looks like it might be good.

They also make a version called False Alarm in yellow packaging.

The weather today was predicted to be dreary and wet, so my crew at work asked chili. I made a pot, toned-down for a more genteel audience, and served it with some chili beans on the side. We're all watching the carbs, so instead of Fritos, I set-out a bowl of cracklins.

I don't know why I never tried it before, but oh my. Pork skins for the win, baby. A more perfect pairing doesn't exist.

Shiner Bock would complete the win, if not gild the lily.

That sounds superb.

I gild the lilly every morning upon rising.
