A couple helpers here;
Fish Sauce, Loud and Proud
...
Fish sauce is nothing new. The salty, sweet, and seafood-y condiment, typically made by fermenting small salted fish like anchovies, has been flavoring dishes in Asia for thousands of years. But for the last couple decades, articles in Western food media have frequently cast fish sauce as a “secret ingredient,” used by “chefs” to imbue just about anything with umami on the sly—Caesar dressing, Bolognese, or beans on toast. A furtive dash of a potent, exotic elixir.

It’s true that a splash of fish sauce makes for a good marinara. But the implication was that you had to hide fish sauce, sneaking it into the food of unsuspecting diners, lest they balk (“You put what in the tomato sauce?”). Everyone loves a good secret, but fish sauce—which is known as nuoc mam in Vietnam, nam pla in Thailand, patis in the Philippines, and garum in the kitchens of ancient Phoenicia—is so commonplace a seasoning that it’s used much like salt in the West or soy sauce in East Asia. And today, rather than hiding fish sauce, many Southeast Asian chefs, food creators, and home cooks are wielding the traditional ingredient loudly and proudly in creative dishes, recipe titles and even newsletter titles.

Making chili the old fashioned way--dry beans, jalapeno's, fresh tomatoes, garlic, cumin, burger and linquica, chili powder---mmm, mmm good. Batch of corn bread. Can't wait.

Making chili the old fashioned way--dry beans, jalapeno's, fresh tomatoes, garlic, cumin, burger and linquica, chili powder---mmm, mmm good. Batch of corn bread. Can't wait.

Sound delicious and great. Chili is one of our favorites also.

IIRC, "old fashion way", i.e. original/first versions were without beans. And "purists" will also say "no beans". Story I've heard is that chili started as a way to cook lean rangy beef while on cattle drives. Mostly the chopped beef with peppers, and/or tomatoes, to help soften it to edible~chewable condition.

I like beans for added source of proteins and more texture and flavor. Usually use canned ones and pour in with the 'juice' for added fluid. Canned being already cooked, the chili is ready to eat sooner. Usually use a mix of black, red, kidney, and/or pinto beans, about a can each at least, in a 5-8 quart pot of meat and other ingredients.

For meat, I use "steak", usually a cheap cut like chuck or round, diced into about 1/4" to /12" and added to a pan of sauteed chopped onions and garlic, maybe with some diced bell or jalapeno, or similar peppers (what's on sale or at hand). If 'burger'~ground meat; usually a mix of beef and/or pork with chicken/turkey, browned in a skillet. Sausage, like linquica or similar is an occasional option addition, though I usually like such for pasta sauce or paella.

I'll use canned tomatoes, either store bought or from our preserves, and some tomato paste also. Like to sprinkle paprika on the meat while it is being browned. Once assembled and simmering, I'm going for not too watery, but not thick as paste either. At simmer stage I like to add a few tablespoons of chocolate powder to give a more mole' slant (and make the sauce a bit more 'brown'), along with some brown sugar and/or honey. The sweet and chocolate help tame down the "hot" of the spices and give more depth to the flavor.

Like many similar dishes, always better the next day or two after it's has aged a bit.
