Are you a purist and leave the beans out or do you put them in there? I like it both ways, but I typically like a thicker chili as opposed to a thinner one.

i put kidney beans in, they are pretty low in carbs as beans go. Plus my dog likes them so if my spoon has a bad bean to meat ratio i take one or two out and let it cool on the table. Makes her happy so I'm for em!

That is awesome :)
