Smoked Brisket Chili Recipe (recipe and video)

bacon, diced

large onion, chopped (about 2 cups)

red bell pepper, chopped

garlic,

beef

chili powder*

cumin

chipotle in adobo sauce**

smoked paprika

beer

coffee, ((cold leftover coffee

15 oz can diced tomatoes

15 tomato sauce

black beans,

kidney beans,

4 oz can diced green chili

Sauté

In a large pot over medium heat, sauté bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve for later. If there is excess bacon grease remove it, otherwise cook the onions in it.

Soften

Add onions and cook until soft (about 5 minutes). Add bell pepper and garlic; cook 1 additional minute to soften.

Combine

Add the leftover cubed brisket and all dry seasonings. Let cook 1 minute stirring often. Get those seasonings integrated!

Add Liquids

Add beer and allow it to deglaze the pan and cook off the alcohol (about 1-2 minutes). Then add chipotle, coffee, tomatoes, beans, corn, green chili, and the reserved bacon.

Simmer

Bring to a low simmer, cover, and cook for a minimum of 30 minutes. The longer it cooks the more integrated and concentrated the flavors get. My recommendation is at least an hour (or better yet two) for a nice rich chili. If the stew starts to get too thick, you can add water ½ cup at a time to thin it out.

I made this with leftover brisket and left over beans used the coffee which at first i was scared but i felt it gave it a good balance. I loved the simplicity of the ingredients and how fast and easy it was to do. Family favorite.

Super tasty! Followed the instructions exactly. We had leftover and put it in the freezer. The next day we had it for breakfast and still tastes delicious!

This was great! I made it with my left over brisket and my family couldn't stop raving about it! I think i am going to use the same recipe with chicken too!

We had a hearty and filling meal thanks to this recipe! I really loved the flavors! Such a great recipe!

This was my first time cooking with brisket and it was absolutely lovely. I re-heated some leftovers for lunches for the next two days too and these were even more delicious if that's possible. Thank you for a great recipe.

This is a fabulous recipe! I am super lazy,l ol, so I subbed a bag of frozen bell pepper and onion strips for the fresh. I'm sure this would be even better with fresh veggies, but I have to say that it was still delicious and the trade-off is worth it for me! Great recipe, will be making this again!

Made this last night for my husband and I- we used to live in Austin, TX so we are obsessed with anything brisket. The chili was very flavorful. I actually only had green peppers so I used those but next time I'll probably get yellow or orange (for a sweeter flavor like you mentioned).

Thanks for the recipe!

I'm going to send this to my parents because I know they'll love this, too! The toppings make it look so pretty, too!

This looks truly delicious. What a lovely weekend dinner idea. I'll add this to my list. Thanks!

This chili was super satisfying and so flavorful! Our whole family loved it!

Favorite recipe for our leftover brisket!

We just subscribed to a grass fed meat delivery service and every month we get at least 1-2 briskets. I just defrosted one a few days ago and was wondering how many different ways i could prepare it! Thanks for the great recipe.
