Just ate some cassoulet.
Beans with 2 kinds of sausage, pork, duck and lamb. Yummy.

Nothing to do with chilli though.

I like both....but my wife prefers without...which means I usually make without.

I do have a pretty good recipe, but no real measurements. I just add the seasoning in layers (once with meat, another time after tomatoes, and one last time after it's been cooking a while). I do like to add serranos to my chili for that extra flavor.

I do prefer a thick chili, no a soupy one.
