Chili with beans is a topic of debate among chili enthusiasts. In Texas, chili without beans is the norm, and many wont accept anything other than authentic Texas-style chili (without beans) as being "real chili". However, in other parts of the United States, chili with beans is common. The term "chili con carne" translates from Spanish as chilies with meat, and the International Chili Society defines traditional red chili as "any kind of meat, or combination of meats, cooked with red chili peppers, various spices, and other ingredients. Beans and non-vegetable fillers such as rice and pasta are not allowed". However, the Homestyle Chili competition allows for any kind of meat, vegetables, and beans to be cooked with chili peppers, various spices, and other ingredients. In summary, chili with beans is not a specific dish with a unique name, but rather a variation of chili that is popular in some regions of the United States.
