Howdy y’all. Today we’re visiting Texas and making my version of Texas cowboy chili. This hearty chili brings the best of both worlds with tender chunks of stewy and flavorful ground beef simmer together. Green Anaheim peppers add a smoky kick while a mix of kidney beans and black beans give it that cowboy campfire heartiness. Toss in some fire roasted tomatoes and a bold chili seasoning blend and you’ve got a rich slow simmered pot of Texas style comfort food that’ll warm you right down to your boots. Top it off with some sour cream, cheese, and green onions. Ooh, woo woo woo. Now that’s some yummy chili. This blends perfectly with my green chili cheese cornbread. Cowboy approved. Now enjoy.
