"Chile con carne", the full name

means "chili peppers with meat"

it does not mean "chili peppers with other vegetables", though onion and garlic
are close enough to other meat seasoning not to be "other vegetables" in this context.

The subject line is admirable though: a double oxymoron!  ;^)

Dear sir,

While this is a lovely recipe for something, it is not chili.

Sad to bring you bad news,

Mrs H.

Mushrooms in chili? Now I know that mushrooms are fungi and not veggies, but really!

Isn't mushrooms in chili rather like a double concerto for lute and bagpipe?

As Peter Schickile said - the lute is such a soft instrument that you can't hear it if 
another instrument is even  in the room (playing or not).
