For Bourbon chili, I only use jalapeños. I reduce a 5th of Bourbon and use that in place of most of the tomato sauce. Has a nice spicy Bourbon flavor, but no alcohol.

Never had bourbon chili before. Sounds good. Think I have an excuse to stop at the ABC store on the way home.

Chile​

Chile with an "e" at the end is the most common Spanish spelling in Mexico and other Latin American countries. It is also used in some parts of the United States and Canada when referring to the spicy pepper. The plural is "chile" or "chiles."


In the American Southwest, "chile" is also a condiment made from either the red or green pepper. This is popularly used as a hot dog topping to create chile dog. Although the spelling is the same, the South American country of Chile has no relationship with the chile pepper.



Chili​

Chili with an "i" at the end is the Americanized version. This version began with the name of the dish carne con chili meaning "meat with chile," referring to the popular spicy meat and bean stew. That evolved into chili con carne and was then shortened to just "chili." Many Americans use "chili" to refer to the pepper as well, though.


The term ending with an "i" is also used when referring to a hot dog topped with chili con carne, or the chili dog. This is well-loved throughout the U.S. but much different than the Southwest's chile dog.



Chilli​

The third version, "chilli," is the preferred spelling in Britain. It's also used in other countries, including Australia, Singapore, India, and South Africa, to name a few. The double "l" and "i" date back to the Romanization of the language. The plural is "chillies."



Other Accepted Spellings​

To add to the confusion, there are additional spellings of "chile" out there. You may come across "chilly," " chilie," or "chillie" when reading about this spicy fruit.



Chili Powder vs. Chile Powder​

There is also a distinct difference between the spices labeled as chili powder and chile powder. Generally, if a container says "chili powder," you're buying ground, dried chile peppers mixed with other spices. "Chile powder," on the other hand, should be nothing but dried chile peppers.

Dammit, y'all...

CHILI!

'Cause MURICA!

You want Chile, go to South America! I highly recommend Talcahuano. At least, it was a great place back in '96.

Funny that you mention this as I plan to put on a big pot tomorrow morning. We make a big pot, eat half and freeze the other half for later.

Here in Texas putting beans in chili is right up there with cattle rustling. So, I found a loophole. I made a pot of beans and added beef, onion, tomatoes, chili powder, and mores stuff. This one had pintos and black beans. I usually add some kidney beans but didn't have any for this one.

Salsa makeS great chili if you’re in a hurry. I brown a couple pounds of ground chuck, a couple jars of peach/mango salsa, a couple big jars of medium regular salsa, and 2 packs of French’s chili-o seasoning. NO BEANS

Don’t knock it til you try it.

This is almost exactly my recipe. It is a good one.
 
Bought chili fixing around 5pm today and started on this thread a little while ago. Great minds thinks alike. One of the best chili's I ever ate used dried chili peppers that had to be reconstituted in boiling water, black beans, cubed meat and hominy. Lost the recipe...☹️

Funny, as here I thought you were an Old Mexican. :p

Made chili last night with bourbon in it. Surprisingly the Boss liked it. I say surprising because bourbon is something that you'll never get past her lips. It also had beans in it; black beans and garbanzo beans (aka chick peas).
 
"GASP" I make it with no meat.
I have one of THOSE girlfriends.


When she's out of town, I just eat nothing but meat for the duration. I like chili both Texas style and with beans. I can choke down just about anything. Just put the bowl in front of me and get those hands out of the way if you want to keep your fingers.

An old New Mexican to be precise!

No beans, and a couple warmed flour tortillas on the side. And red chile powder . A *lot* of hot Hatch red chile powder.
