I think I found my new home!

I stand corrected, Steve but,

from Wikipedia... main ingredients for chili are...

Chili peppers
Meat
Tomatoes
Often made with beans

Beans are apparently not a main ingredient for the dish as far as I can tell.
Maybe someone thought they could extend the yield on a batch by adding beans. Therefore, calling it Chili Con Carne (with meat) as the translation goes, is redundant. You can't make a pot of Chili without ground beef. Beans are optional.

Red beans and Kidney beans are a total deal breaker for me. I like mine plain and hot.
Since the dish originated in Texas, let's ask Neal.

Hey Neal.. What's in "genuine" Texas Chili?

Inquiring taste buds wanna know.
