JUST PLAIN CHILI

No chopping or mincing, no beans and above all, no sugar or cinnamon. This recipe is quick to prepare. I like it best when served over low-carb elbow macaroni. It also makes a good hot dog sauce. TIP: if you double the recipe, double the "simmer" time.

So you've just finished smoking a brisket, and you're now surprised with the amount of leftover meat you have. Mix it with some ground beef and make some chili! I used brisket made with the mop sauce in recipe #130254, and it makes a surprisingly good addition to plain ol' chili.

Time 8h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans
2 lbs hamburger meat, browned
1 lb beef brisket, smoked
1/4 lb bacon, diced and browned
1 (48 ounce) can beef broth
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
1/4 cup chili powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
cayenne pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to crock pot, mix well. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. I prefer to run the pinto beans through a food processor instead of adding them whole, as this helps thicken and add some body to the chili.
