Are Cowboy Beans Chilli

This recipe uses spicy red chili or kidney beans, so it can be treated like a chili would even though its a little bit different. So, eat it by itself, serve it with Fritos, tortilla chips, sour cream, or cheddar cheese. The best thing about this dish is that it’s hearty and can be eaten any way you like.

What to Serve with Cowboy Beans

This dish can be used as a main dish (my choice) or you can use it as a side. Here some things you can serve with it:

• Biscuits
• Spinach Artichoke Dip
• Cornbread
• Salad
• Baked Potatoes
