My Texas in-laws would stop you right there while yelling,
"Oh my GAWD, he's RUIINED it! Durn fool put BEANS
in his CHILI!!!!!"

I personally tend to agree - "chili" is a concoction consisting
of meat in a spicy and sometimes tomato-based sauce, but
it ain't got none a' them thar beans in it...but I would tend to
use more diplomatic language...:-) The bell pepper, I would
question but am willing to overlook...
