I've never tried the hot chillie beans. I hate using anything that is pre flavored. I only use the dark red kidney beans and flavor everything myself. All you need to do is add one large onion, a can of tomato paste, one can of stewed tomatos, and one can of diced tomoatos. I sometimes even use forzen mixed peppers in my chillie to save time. Then add your own concoction of spices to get things the way you like. Oregano, garlic, salt, pepper, sugar, and chillie powder. I also use Acsent on the beef while browning it. With five of us in our home I use about 8 to 10 cans of beans in our Chillie. I have noticed that the amount of beans you get per can has deminished over the last year or so. I guess even the canneries are cutting to save money. They just add more juces to keep the weight up to par. Cheap bastards.
