Well I'll be darned, Phil...do you realize how few people know that real chili doesn't have beans! Tell you a little secret...it's a no-no to put tomatoes in chili around here too...especially at the chili cook-offs.

My DB and I have gone round and round for years about that. I LIKE tomatoes in my chili....we compromise now by alternating whenever I make it ...tomatoes every other time. (He's native born Texican...I'm not).

I use the same spices you do, BTW except for the garlic powder. I have garlic growing in one of my flower beds...try the fresh sometime, if you like the true flavor of garlic, that is and don't plan to do any fooling around with Mrs Phil later. She may throw you out! LOL
