What is Cowboy Chili made of?
Pig's Eye BBQ produced their Cowboy Chili with Fellers Ranch Wagyu Ground Beef. Our Wagyu is ethically raised without antibiotics or hormones, and are tended with more care than the average supermarket beef products. We use natural methods to farm cattle that produce delectable marbling and a rich beefy taste in every bite.
Wagyu ground beef is super versatile and a great canvas to start with when creating extra flavorful dishes. It SOAKS up all the smoke and seasoning, giving this chili a cowboy flair that will have everyone asking for seconds.

Wagyu Cowboy Chili Instructions:
- Preheat grill to 250°
- Season the wagyu ground beef with the Croix Valley Garlic Barbecue Booster & dried minced onion. Form into a meatball or meatloaf shape.
- Place a Dutch oven on the bottom grate and sauté one diced onion and one diced pepper in it until they are softened. Put the meat "loaf" on the second grill grate above the Dutch oven.
- Add beans, diced tomatoes, tomato soup, tomato sauce, onion powder, steak sauce, and chili powder, and stir occasionally. Smoke for 1 hour and bump the temperature to 350° for the reminder time.
- Once the temperature of the ground beef reaches 155° degrees, crumble up the meat and add to the chili to blend flavors. Stir occasionally for another 30-60 minutes.
Serve warm, and sprinkle with additional onion and sharp cheddar cheese.
Wagyu Cowboy Chili Recipe Notes -
* As with any chili, the beans are optional, add more if you would like or less.
* Chili tastes better the longer it sits, making this a great leftover meal.
* Serve with some fresh cornbread. The spicy chili and sweet cornbread are the perfect pairings for a meal.
