Do You Like Beans in Your Chili?

Friday October 3, 2008
If you're camping at this chilly time of year, a hot bowl of chili will warm your bones. There are lots of recipes for making chili, but one of the main differences in recipes is the addition of beans. Some folks just can't tolerate these little gas pills. So what is your preference?

TIP: if you rinse your beans to remove the bubbly juices before you add them to your chili (or any recipe with canned beans), they don't seem to be as gassy.
