So since it's been kinda chilly here I've been trying to get some things off my to do list. One of those was making chili with smoked chuck roast. Didn't know exactly where this was gonna end up but with a starting point recipe from
TNJAKE
And also some ideas from
Rafter H BBQ
I had a general direction. Chuck roast was $4.99 a lb, not terrible, so got a 4.75 lb roast
There was a good chunk of fat on one side so cut a piece off and placed on top of half that's gonna be used in chili. Seasoned with some hatch chili, some homemade chili powder, Italian spice & salt, ribeye steak seasoning, and smoked paprika
Other half of chuck roast will go to pulled beef. Both chunks put in smoker then finished in oven. Half for chili removed at IT 170, other half taken to 205 IT.
While doing some research I saw where others were using bacon grease to saute veges in...well we didn't have any bacon grease so had to make some...1/2 lb of bacon fried up, and of course added to the chili cuz why wouldn't ya.
Onion and garlic saute in bacon grease
A lb of breakfast sausage cooked in bacon grease then the bacon, onions and garlic added back in
2 lbs smoked chuck roast into the pot, mostly cubed but some shredded after removing fat to get 2 lbs.
Some additions to the pot...recipe to follow
12 oz beer
4 cloves garlic chopped
1 onion chopped
2 Tbs chili powder
2 Tbs beef better than bouillon
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp unsweetened cocoa
2 tsp white sugar
1/2tsp coriander
4 oz can diced green chili
1 pt. Homemade (canned) diced tomatoes
1 - 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 Tbs tomato paste
2 qts homemade (canned) tomato juice
2 - 30 oz cans Mrs Grimes chili beans
This sure turned out really good!
Of course I needed something to dip into my chili with so made a batch of Parker house rolls from The Prepared Pantry
And a plated shot of chili with fresh bun, fruits, green onion, sour cream, and shredded smoked cheddar cheese!
It was absolutely as good as I hoped for !
