Crushed tomatoes vs diced for my all-canned chili
I was staring at two cans debating which one to use for a 5-ingredient chili last week. Went with crushed because they break down smoother, and it made the whole pot taste like I actually simmered it for hours instead of just heating it up. Anyone else got a go-to canned tomato for chili?

Wait, are you actually getting a smoky taste from fire roasted, or just a slightly burnt one? I tried them once in a chili and it came out bitter, like someone left the pan on too long. Crushed plain is the way to go for me because you control the seasoning yourself and the texture is unbeatable for a thick chili. Those fire roasted bits stayed too chunky and never melted down, which threw off the whole pot. I'll take a simple can of crushed over fancy roasted any day.
