I usually dice the meat smaller than that picture but I still wouldn't call that a stew. But when I'm making "real" chili I do not use ground beef or beans. My ingredients are pretty much.....
Red chili pods
Onion
Garlic
Beef or pork
Broth or beer
Tomato sauce (not much)
Chili powder
Cumin
Oregano
S&P
None of which is to say that I don't like a chili with ground beef and beans and whatever else. Just I don't think of it as "real".
