CANNED CHILI BEANS

Flatbush — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 20:15:24 GMT

When you make chili with canned beans, do you rinse the liquid from the canned beans before you put them in the chilly mixture?

TIA

Yes @Flatbush

I always do!

No matter what recipe the canned beans of any variety are going into...they get rinsed well and drained. I rinse until there is no foam at all and the water runs clear.

I use only pinto or kidney beans in chili, not chili beans. If you use chili beans, I wouldn't rinse them because there are flavorings in the sauce.

If you use any other kind of bean, yes rinse.

@Flatbush I buy Bushs Chili Beans in sauce, so I just dump the whole can in the chili. Just made a batch yesterday.

I use ranch style beans, which are flavored, so I don't rinse.

I rinse , but only because I have to watch my sodium intake, if you don't , I wouldn't bother to rinse.

I buy pinto beans, kidney beans and sometimes red beans. I never rinse nor do I drain the beans. I dump all the liquid in.

I buy and use a combination of pinto, red, and kidney beans in the can and I don't rinse them.

Flatbush said she uses pinto or kidney beans. Yes, do rinse these before making chili. I rinse all canned beans.

Yes, I do to. This is all the seasoning you need for a good pot of chili.

Will drain but I don't rinse them. Only ones I rinse too are black beans.

I use a variety of beans and don't rinse except the black ones. I don't like the dark color that results when you don't rinse them. I figure the "sauce" has nutrients in the pinto and kidney beans, plus it slightly thickens the chili. I'd rather use my own seasonings than trust some bean company. Lately I've been experimenting with taco seasoning.

@Flatbush I don't rinse my beans and just drain the liquid off, if they are chili beans in sauce I dump the whole can in including the liquid.

Sometimes I do.

Thanks for all the info that everyone posted. I didn't think about the chili beans having flavor in the sauce. Good responses. I'll have to try them different ways.

I buy the Brooks "Hot" chili beans so I don't rinse those as I want the seasonings. I also add a can of Bush's black beans and those I rinse.

Rinse, too much starch.
