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...

I love this chili! It's so flavorful and hearty. I always make a big batch and freeze the leftovers for later.

This chili was a disappointment. It was bland and lacked flavor. I wouldn't recommend it.

I would make this chili again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less cayenne pepper and I would cook the meat for a little longer.

I thought the chili was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I wasn't a big fan of the chili. I found it to be too spicy and the meat was a bit tough.

This chili is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my guests. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just reheat it when I'm ready to serve.

This chili is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

This chili is perfect for a cold winter day. It's hearty and filling, and the spices really warm you up.

I love the addition of the calico beans. They add a nice pop of color and flavor to the chili.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover meat. I usually have some leftover steak or chicken that I throw in.

I wasn't sure about the combination of beef, sausage, and beans, but it was actually really delicious. The chili had a nice smoky flavor from the grilled meat.
