Y'all want to say this isn't chili, that's OK...

Sounds good. Having traveled extensively through the Americas I've become quite cosmopolitan in my attitudes towards food. It's hilarious to contemplate all the "right" ways to make any given dish. What Mexicans call "tamales", for example, is laughable when you see a Tamal Tolimense for the first time. One tamal is a meal in itself, plenty of carbs, fat, protein and vitamins to make a fairly balanced meal that'll last you through the day. But I digress. Other than all the canned stuff (oh how I love to cook from scratch) your concoction sounds quite edible. I need to do a multi-bean chili one of these days. The problem being we don't get the same varieties as up north and some of what we get aren't poor man's food. Fortunately, the ones I like the most are the most reasonable in cost. I guess part of my aversion to canned goods is the cost thereof down here. For what one can of beans or "chili con frijol" costs I can get a couple kilos of dried beans and make enough to feed a bunch of folks.
