SuperBond Chili: The Bean-Free Carnage

Category: Soups & Stews

Servings: 1 | Difficulty: Medium

"Alright, listen up, you bean-hating heathens. You hate beans. I hate beans. We all hate beans. They're the little legume devils that sneak into otherwise perfect chili recipes, turning your bowl of meaty goodness into a second-rate, gas-powered nightmare. So here's a chili recipe that's as bean-free as a something that has no beans in it, SuperBond Chili! This baby is packed with ground beef so meaty it'll have cows filing missing-persons reports. Spices so good they’ll smack your taste buds into next Tuesday. And guess what? Not a single, freakin' bean in sight. That’s right, this chili doesn’t need those mushy, tasteless fillers to make it awesome. It’s all beef, spice, and a kick that’s harder than a ninja on a bad hair day. So, if you're ready to make chili that’s more ‘sizzling attitude’ and less ‘mushy legume sadness,’ grab your skillet, your ginger beer (yup, we went there) and leave those beans to the sad souls who enjoy bland, gut-bubbling regret."
