Look, I’m not here to boss you around. You do you. But if you want chili that sings—balanced, bold, and beautiful—drain those beans.
Your chili will thank you. Your belly will thank you. And your secret nemesis (the one who always makes better chili) will be like, “What did you do different?” And you’ll just smile.
So go ahead. Grab that colander. Give those beans a good shake. Rinse ‘em under cold water. Then drop them into your pot like the culinary genius you are.
Now go make some chili. I’m rooting for you. And I’ll take a bowl when it’s done.
