So, what is cowboy chili? For the uninitiated, cowboy chili differs from regular chili in one big way: size. Many recipes use extra beef, lots of beans and plenty of chiles. Our version calls for stew meat rather than ground beef, which lends a chunkier feel to this thick, tomato-based chili. We let the slow cooker do all the work, so no need to fuss with a pot of chili on the stove when the gang arrives. Ancho and chipotle chiles, along with chili powder, bring the perfect level of spiciness.<\/p>\n
