just cant bring myself to call it chile when it's not.
I'm usually not much on minutia, but its my understanding that chili has no beans and that chili with beans is actually chili con carne.
Chile con carne translates to, chile(peppers) with meat...no mention of beans(frijoles). When I lived and worked in El Paso in the '70s, that's what the mezcan day laborers ate for lunch; 1/4" cubes of diced hot chiles and meat sauteed and mixed together with nothing else.
