I smoked a brisket on Monday. Left out of town until Saturday. I have quite a bit of leftovers waiting for me. A while back I saw an easy recipe for brisket chili. Now I can't find it. Anyone have a good recipe for it?
 
I’m sure there are better but I’ll tell you what we do. Take onion, bell pepper and garlic and chop/sautée w some olive oil. Then add you brisket, a can of rotel tomato, a can of beer and 1&1/2 cups beef broth. For seasoning start with chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Then, to taste, you can add some pepper, tonys, garlic powder, onion powder and more chili powder. Let that simmer and add some red kidneys if you want beans in your chili.
 
I have a bunch of chili recipes, because every time I make chili, I do something different.

With leftover meat, it's all about the soup/sauce. The cooked meat doesn't require browning, but I do sauté the onions. I add chopped garlic about a minute before the onions are done. Cube the meat, then depending how much meat I use, I add canned crushed or diced tomatoes, preferring diced. Then in goes salt, black pepper, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. I just use the palm of my hand to measure. The ratios are 1-1-2-2-1-1/4. Add some beef stock if it is too thick. Simmer covered with the lid cracked open a tad for an hour. Check that the meat falls apart, and serve.

A couple things I do to mess with my chili loving friends is add some browned breakfast sausage filling and a teaspoon of sugar.

If you have dried chilies in your area, skip the chili powder and reconstitute about 6 Anaheim or Pasilla or New Mexico chilies. Drain, blend, and add to the soup/sauce.

Beans are totally optional. My wife likes beans in her chili. I'll use a can or two of black beans (less gas).
