IMHO there is no official recipe for Chilli. Everyone makes it different. Don't believe me? Go to a Chii Cook-off. Everyone is different. If they were all the same what would be the point of a cook-off?

My sister in-law puts potatoes in her chilli. Haven't seen anyone else do that.

My preference? For a bowl of chilli it gets the meat, beans and chilli pepper with shredded cheddar cheese on top.

The picture in the original post could be several things depending on what spices are mixed in it. Could be meat sauce for spaghetti, Could be Sloppy Joe, put it on a hotdog with melted cheddar cheese and it's a chilli cheese dog (mmm).

Chilli Con Carne is literally interpreted Chilli with Meat. Does this imply that Chilli by itself does not have any meat just beans?

Lol. My wife who has no idea what I am doing right now just brought me a bowl of Chilli for lunch. Yep, it has meat and beans and shredded cheddar cheese.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
