Brisket chili

[DemonPit]

So i made my usual fall chili yesterday. 3.5lbs of smoked brisket chunks, 6lbs ground beef, beef stock, sautéed onions in smoked beef tallow, beans (per the wife for this yrs chili), crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder/salt/pepper/garlic/cayenne, 1/3rd cup brown sugar.

Cooked down for 5hrs

I think this yielded me 7 gallons.

All portioned in zip lock baggies and in the deep freezer.

LOTS of easy "warm you up meals" for the winter.

Pics were taken before it all cooked down.

That is some fine-looking chili! Must be time for me to think along those lines too.

Looks great. I just did a huge batch that I ate for the week and shared a bunch with friends and family. I did manage to put a few quarts up in freezer. I love getting my soups out for a quick meal when I don't feel like cooking.

It was 47℉ this morning when I got up, that and these pictures have me thinking, too...

Looks good! Dropping into the 30s here tonight. Need to start thinking about chili. I do have a couple of vac-seal bags of brisket in the deep freeze.

I try and stock my freezer up with brisket only when it's on sale. I'll grab as many as I can (up to 5). Last time I found it for 1.99/lb. I cut 2 of them up for pot roasts. Way cheaper than 8.99/lb for Chuck roast.

Hmm, dumb me, I didn't know they could be used for pot roast.

I've made 8 dinners of pot roast and beef stew using brisket. No real difference (imo).

Nicely done Warren. That chili would hit the spot with the colder weather making it's way up here.

Point for sure
