I used to buy canned chili beans, most often Brooks. Now I never do,
because there's a better alternative:
Chilli Man Lean Beef variety canned chili, instead of chili hot
beans. This is damned good canned chili.

Yesterday evening, very easy:
-1 pound of super lean ground beef, browned and crumbled
-2 cans of Chilli Man Lean Beef variety canned chili
-a sprinkle of MSG (optional)
This is better than just about anyone's *homemade* chili, which more
often than not is halfway to spaghetti sauce. Nice optional toppings
could include:
Chopped sweet onions, chopped ripe jalapenos, shredded cheese, chopped
black olives, and powdered arbol, cayenne or piquin chile.
Even if one does want to make the tomatoey stuff, the Chilli Man Lean
Beef variety canned chili is a better bean base than any of the brands
of "chili hot beans," and bought on sale for $1 a can, is not
significantly more expensive.

IMO, there is no canned chili with beans that has enough meat in it..

This obviously isn't *cooking*, but merely adding extra ground beef to
a prepared food. When I make scratch chili, I use cooked to death red
kidney beans.

The only time I eat canned chili is when I've had a few beers.
Otherwise fuhgettabout it. I wouldn't use it as an enhancer either.
It tastes canned. I don't use msg either. Actually what I secretly
like (don't tell anyone) is doing the ground beef, adding sauteed
garlic, onions, peppers etc, adding the spices, letting it slowly
heat for a while, stirring, then eating that prior to any liquid being
added. Usually I just taste a couple of Tbsp's, but it is very
tasty.

I had a couple of nice Cascade-hoppy APAs yesterday evening too.

Sure, but no more canned than canned chili hot beans. My point wasn't
comparing it favorably to freshly cooked dried beans.

I admit to using it, opening myself up to catching a lot of crap, but
that's par for the course. It's the first time I've added any to
anything in several months. It only takes a tiny bit.

Now on the other hand you have a point. I don't youse the canned
chili hot beans, but do use canned beans. Go figure.

Some people use too much and it becomes overpowering I find.

Try subbing the chili for the canned beans, assuming that you meant
that you use canned beans in chili.
