The heat in chili can range from mild to very hot in the US. My guess is that the closer the region of the county is to Mexico, the spicier the dish will be. In its most basic form, chili is meat cooked with chili peppers. Some chili purists consider the addition of tomatoes or beans to be taboo. The chili that's popular in Hawaii is sweet with low heat and has tomatoes and beans and is similar to "Cincinnati chili." It's served over rice on this rock.

I'll have to come up with a low carb version soon i.e., meat cooked with chili pepper.
