Winter Cookbook: Slow Cooker Chili Con Carne With Parmesan Cornbread Recipe Chili with Beans? This is often a controversial topic. The mere thought of using beans in a chili dish brings up the ire of a lot of people. After all, chili is often referred to as Chili Con Carne (Chili with Meat) but rarely as Chili Con Frijoles (Chili with Beans).

It is by all accounts a common question and has indeed fueled many arguments over the subject. There are many accepted versions. Chile with an "e" at the end is the correct spelling in Spanish. Chili with an "i" at the end is the Americanised version. The "i" version began with the name of the dish "Carne con Chili," meaning "Meat with Chile." It evolved into "crockpot chili" and then shortened to just "Chili." The term ending with an "i" is widely accepted and is often used as the name for "Chili Powder." The term "Chile" with an "e" is the more correct way to spell it. So there you have it. For me it makes little difference - chilies are chillis - we should just keep them that way.

Less successful is the botana that marries black beans with flavorless yellow rice.
