con carne

Meat included, Spanish

Con carne is Spanish for "with meat," used in English almost exclusively in chili con carne—a spiced stew of meat and chili peppers.

The phrase distinguishes meat-containing versions from meatless alternatives.

In casual speech, chili con carne is often shortened to just chili.
