Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds smoked beef brisket choppped
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 2 medium red onions chopped
  • 3 jalapeno peppers chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 ½ cups black coffee
  • 1 ½ cups beef broth
  • 30 ounces canned chili beans
  • 28 ounces canned fire roasted tomatoes
  • 15 ounces canned tomato sauce
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 bay leaf

Chili Seasoning

  • 1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 ½ tablespoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Add vegetable oil to a large soup pot or Dutch oven set over medium heat, along with the chopped onions and peppers. Saute the vegetables until tender, then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional two minutes.
  • Stir in the flour, brown sugar, bay leaf, tomato paste, and all of the chili seasoning. Mix together until everything is well combined and let cook for one minute, then add the cubed brisket and all remaining ingredients.
  • Bring the chili pot to a simmer, and let cook uncovered for two hours. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon to prevent the bottom from scorching.
  • Serve with your favorite chili toppings.

Notes

This recipe is best to make with leftover BBQ beef brisket. If you haven't smoked any yourself you can purchase it already smoked at most grocery stores. Raw brisket can be used but it will have less flavor and may need to be simmered longer before it is tender. I recommend using raw brisket with my smoked chili recipe, instead.
Optional chili toppings include sour cream, shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped raw onion, hot sauce, and green onions.
