Well I have lived there a time or 2, but I love beans in the Chili !!!
AI Overview
No, the original chili did not have beans. The earliest recipes, such as those from Texas cattle drives and the San Antonio "Chili Queens," were made of meat and chili peppers, not beans. Beans were added later, and their inclusion is still a contentious issue among chili purists, with traditionalists arguing that chili with beans is not "real" chili.
- Origins:
The original "chili con carne" (chili with meat) was a simple stew of meat and chili peppers. Cattle drives in Texas popularized this dish, which was sometimes made with dried beef and spices to last a long time on the trail.
- Adding beans:
Beans became a common addition to chili much later, around the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially as the dish spread beyond its Texas origins.
- The debate:
The addition of beans has created a long-standing debate, particularly in Texas. Many Texans believe that chili should not have beans, tomatoes, or other fillers and should only contain meat and spices.
- Modern variations:
Today, many popular chili recipes include beans, and they are widely enjoyed in many parts of the country. The International Chili Society even has separate categories for chilis made with and without beans.
- Adding beans:
Then I will have to break tradition and go with beans in the Chili.

Them's fightin words!
FYI, we go to a local chili cook-off every year. Talked to some of the entrants about the beans and they said the competition rules say the "people's choice" chili must have beans, but the "competition chili" does not have beans.
So chili with beans is the better one so they have to apply arbitrary rules for non bean chili to have a chance
