Grilled Cowboy Calico Chili ! image

This is a family favorite! We have made this on the grill and on the stove in the kitchen... it is always a hit! We tend to grill extra steaks, and have the left over ones to chop up and make this recipe. The children love all of the textures and colors from the ingredients. Tonight they all 4 asked for seconds! Play with...

This chili is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding some sour cream.

I'm not a huge fan of chili, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so flavorful and satisfying.

This chili is so easy to make. I just threw all the ingredients in my slow cooker and let it cook all day.

I love the combination of flavors in this chili. The sweetness of the corn and the smokiness of the chili powder really complement each other.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover steak. It's also a great dish to make for a crowd. I made it for a party and it was a huge hit.
