Dutch Oven: Over the Top Smoked Chili

[xray]

That chili looks absolutely delicious!! Nicely done. It’s been too long since I’ve made chili, so that needs to change after seeing this.

Wow! Great looking chili.

Looks great.
Must be the season, I've made 2 batches of chili this month.
No means for over the top, yet.

...
The only thing I will change next time is draining the juice from the tomatoes. A bit watery but a slotted spoon fixed that issue.
...

Maybe a little less beer, or was one can for the chef?

Lodge Cast Iron Enameled Dutch Oven
Over the Top Smoked Chili for Championship Sunday.

Using my Mom’s chili recipe sans browned hamburger. I tripled up on everything to make a lot of it. Doing the hamburger over the top.


Chili Recipe
1 pound lean ground beef
1 can petite diced tomatoes
1 can brooks mild chili beans
1 8 ounce can tomato sauce
2/3 of a bottle of budlight
1/4 cup of ketchup
1/2 packet of Williams Original Chili Seasoning Mix (you can find this usually in the pasta aisle)
Mix everything together, bring to a boil (stirring constantly so it doesn't burn), then put on simmer for about 30 minutes).

(Obviously eliminating the stove top steps).

Looks great. Were you able to get the DO clean or does it have extra character now?
