Folks, the virtue of beans is that they let you make more chili out of less money.

That's actually true Leo, I get that. Matter of fact the reason people started adding beans to chili is cause there were times where meat was expensive. You had an empty stomach and no meat, you threw together chili mix with beans.
but we have moved on. We have all the meat these days. We have so much meat cow farts are fucking up the ozone layer.
and because we have meat now, we can do cheap chili without beans. hell if you like I can share my recipe for a double helping of truck stop chili which feeds either two people or one for a whole day for a little over two bucks in all. no beans.
Seriously, I get there was a time when there was a valid reason for chili and beans, but those days are gone, so discontinue the beans!
Sure, I'll take it, we can compare notes.

oh, wait, I use beans because I also make chili with short ribs so I need to bring the average cost down
abolish ground meat in chili
Chili without ground meat might as well not be chili at all, it's unthinkable
People put meat in their chilli?

It literally is meat there's nothing else in it
Sad, a person who's never had chili
Chili paste, beans, tomatoes and rice.
That's all I've ever been served for chilli.

I actually want to die
That isn't chili, but it is the saddest thing I've ever heard
Y'all need to calm yourself. It's not like it'd be any different with meat in or not.

Lol, !
Chili with rib meat? Beans aside, that sounds awesome
/beans aside is however a literal statement. As in, put the beans on the side, and I'll give em to someone that wants them.
As for my trucker's chili, there is a bit of a story on that. See these days I have a job and disposable income, but there was a time in which I was a stereotypical starving college kid. Since it involves the words me and kid, this time period predates the horseless carriage, but I digress.
anywho, you can't always eat ramen, but a days food usually needs to cost less then about three bucks, and that requires culinary exploration. One day I found myself in wall mart looking for ideas, and stumbled across a can of generic store canned queso mix for about 60 cents. liking that price, I bought it because I figured if it was good I could make some cheap game day chips and dip.
here is the thing, I took it home and boiled it, and....it wasn't. It wasn't good at all. I would call it ass cheese, except that would be an insult to both cheese and asses. Speaking as somebody willing to buy 60 cent cheese in the first place, it was literally inedible. But I wasn't prepared to completely give up on it yet, so I decided to see if it could be fixed. Well, in the pantry I had a can of < 1$ hormel chili. Obviously cheap chili can be an bit chalky, but it has a strong flavor. It occurred to me a mix might work.
so I cooked the chili up and mixed it with the cheese. It was...better, but not a success seeing as how I still would have much rather just eaten the chili. So back to the drawing board, I went to my spice rack.
rapebird's truck stop chili serves one, double mix for a days food or for roommate.
1 can generic store queso. Roughly 60 cents, maybe a nickle more these days.
1 can hormel chili (spicy) 2 cans for double order. Probably about 1.75 these days.
several shakes of garlic salt. (to taste)
two-four shakes cayenne pepper (depending on tolerance)
two shakes onion powder. Or actual onions if you have them but if your finances look like mine did, onion powder.
leave to simmer for more then half an hour. It takes a while of slow cooking to saturate the cheese.
its freaking delicious, that mixture some how becomes this thick, gooey cheesy chili that beats anything I have ever had from a restaurant. The cheese soaks up the juice and becomes rich and tasty, the cayenne gives the whole thing a nice kick. If you do a double order, you can just leave the second bowl to simmer on the stove. The first bowl will fill you to the brim for like 6-8 hours, so have the second for dinner. It will taste even better with the additional simmering. Just kick up the heat for 30 seconds or so to get the temperature right. Even for a double order, you only need one can of cheese, it doesn't get much thinner.
put it on a hotdog for a game day 'dog that will kick the shit out of a sonic/fuddruckers coney
surely pizza is the same without tomato sauce or cheese!!!
actually,
...I want to say yes, but I'm sensing this might be a trick question?
