I’m making some very basic chili. I have a can of black beans thats near expiry. Will adding it to my chili ruin it? It would be a 2:1 ratio of kidney beans to black beans.
Oh you’re looking to add black beans to your chili. That’s a fantastic idea, it will add flavor and nutrients that everyone will appreciate. You’re on your way to making the best chili. Go you
LLM sounding ass comment
That was the point
No, it’ll be fine. It may change the flavor profile a little bit.
You may wish to look at some black bean chili recipes to check out the differences and see if you might wanna make some adjustments based on those. But it won’t be much of an adjustment.
Absolutely not.
Are you worried about farting?
Nah that’s fine, and the ratio is good.
I find that with black beans, I need to add a bit more acid/spice to gat a good balance
Canned food has sell/us-by dates, because everything needs one…
Acidic food can get weird tasting, but you’re better off ignoring the date and caring about structure integrity of the can.
It’s not about if it ruptured, if it was canned correctly or not. If there’s any flex whatsoever in the can, don’t risk. Even if it’s on the grocery store shelf and a year from expiration.
So you can use whatever beans you want, but don’t feel like you “have” to use the can, they’ll last.
You put the peeps in the chili pot and eat them all up
You put the peeps in the chili pot and make them taste… baaadI exclusively use black beans in my chili, I like 'em better. I think it’s a good idea.
There is no such thing as too many kinds of beans in chili.
It we’ll make it different. It will not ruin it.
The best way to ruin chili is not to make it.
Nope
I’m making chilli right now and put black beans in it. I like black beans in my chilli.
I never make chili without black beans and kidney beans…
I tend to prefer black beans actually. For some reason kidney beans have this funny effect of dulling the flavour of the whole dish.
Any Texan will tell you if it has beans it’s not actually Chili, but you already have beans in it anyhow. So yeah, it’s fine.
Chili didn’t even have meat to begin with, hence chili con carne. Black beans are in the original version
I recommend garbanzo beans (chickpeas) and squash
Any Texan will tell you if it has beans it’s not actually Chili
I’m a Texan and I’ve always found posturing like that to be a little silly. Like people who make a huge deal about how little vermouth they think goes into a martini.
To clarify, I like chili with or without beans, according to my mood at the time. Chili with beans in a situation that calls for chili is still better than no chili.
Written half in jest, to be honest. I used to be anti-bean, but I’ve grown to like the difference in texture. But there’s a lot of “get a rope” purists around here with regards to beans in chili.
