I came up with this recipe by experimentation, on account the store-bought "pork & beans" contains a lot of sugar. I am trying to keep the sugar in my diet to a minimum.

So forget the Chili, I am trying to eat more beans, without the sugar of the store-bought canned beans (whether it's brown sugar or corn syrup).

As the old song goes (we sang this as schoolchildren):

"Beans, beans, they're good for your heart

The more you eat, the more you fart

The more you fart, the better you feel

so eat some beans with every meal

2nd verse:

Beans, beans, the musical fruit

The more you eat, the more you toot

The more you toot, the better you feel

so eat some beans with every meal "
