About National Chili Month
United States
Ends: Oct 31, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
THE MEXICAN-AMERICAN DISH THAT SWEPT THE WORLD
NATIONAL CHILI MONTH
Chili Month honors chili's rich flavors and cultural significance. This month-long event encourages people to explore the many variations of chili, celebrate its history, and enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings during the cooler months. It is an unofficial event without a sponsor.
Chili is a hearty stew made with peppers, tomatoes, beans, and various spices. When meat is added, it is called "con carne." The stew is known for its rich, spicy flavor and is a staple in many American households, especially in the Southwest.
The history of chili is deeply rooted in the American Southwest, particularly in Texas, where it is believed to have originated in the early 19th century. The dish was popular among cowboys and settlers who needed a filling and quickly prepared meal. Over time, chili became a culinary icon, with each region and even individual cooks developing unique recipes. Chili competitions and cook-offs, like those organized by the International Chili Society, have further cemented its place in American food culture.
FIVE MOST POPULAR VARIETIES OF CHILI
Today, chili is enjoyed in various forms, with the top five types being:
—Texas Chili
The classic, often referred to as "bowl of red," is made with beef, chili peppers, and spices, but notably excludes beans and tomatoes.
—Cincinnati Chili
A unique take on chili, this version is spiced with cinnamon and served over spaghetti, often topped with cheese, onions, and beans.
—Vegetarian Chili
A plant-based version that substitutes meat with vegetables and beans, offering a lighter but equally flavorful option.
—White Chicken Chili
This chili, made with chicken, white beans, and green chilies, is milder and creamier than its red counterpart.
—Chili Verde
It is a Mexican-inspired dish made with pork and green chilies, giving it a vibrant green color and a tangy, spicy flavor.
Chili Month invites people to try different recipes, participate in chili cook-offs, and share their creations with friends and family. It’s a celebration of a dish that satisfies the appetite and brings people together around the table. Whether you prefer it hot and spicy or mild and savory, chili offers something for everyone, making October the perfect time to savor this iconic dish.
