Chili - beans or no beans?

[sally]

Thanks Sally, So do you care to expand? I know that a lot of traditionalists say that "Chili" is chunks of meat, not ground, and does not contain tomatoes or beans. So what does it contain?

Just good quality meat cut in chunks and browned with onions, chili seasonings and beer and water. As it reduces you add more liquid untill the meat is tender and thicken with masa flour in the end.
