According to the Mirriam-Webster on-line dictionary:

Quote:
1 a: a hot pepper of any of a group of cultivars (Capsicum annuum annuum group longum) noted for their pungency —called also chili pepper but usually chilli plural chillies also chil·lis chiefly British : a pepper whether hot or sweet
2 a: a thick sauce of meat and chilies b: chili con carne
So we are both correct.

You must be somewhere other than New Mexico, Sammie--everyone from there spells it "chile," and they get their panties twisted in a bunch if you spell it the other way!

(untwists panties.)
