Beans are a truly versatile food. They can work well in whatever dish you want to use them in, with different kinds of beans bringing something a little different. Unless you are from Texas and see it as blasphemous – one of the most popular bean dishes is chili, hands down. But with so many different kinds of beans out there, what kind is the best to use in your chili. Truth be told, there really is no right answer! Depending on your own taste and the type of chili you are preparing, you can use any beans you desire. However, when it comes to preparing a classic pot of chili like Randall’s Quick Kidney Bean Chili or Dark Red Kidney Bean Chili, kidney beans are king.

Kidney beans hold up under heat

One of the top reasons to Kidney beans make the best chili is that unlike some beans, kidney beans keep their form and stay together even under extreme heat. We all know chili tastes better when it has had a chance to sit and stew together in the pot for awhile over heat. This process allows everything to cook to perfection and lets all the flavors and spices mingle together. Throughout the process, kidney beans remain firm and refuse to become mushy or soggy. Let’s face it, nobody wants that in their chili. Good, firm beans add a nice texture to chili and help break up the meat, spices and veggies with a creamy finish. The ability to keep their shape comes from the fact the kidney beans cook exceptionally evenly.

Kidney beans are hearty

When it comes to hearty dishes, they don’t come much heartier than chili. A thick base, meaty hamburger, steak or sausage – sometimes all three – and in some cases thickly chopped vegetables. Chili is a dish that sticks to your ribs and warms up the soul. Therefore, it’s only fitting that the bean used fits the bill. Kidney beans are a particularly meaty bean and fit right in with the rest.

Kidney beans take well to other spices
