We think this is the best Texas chili recipe and the internet seems to agree. In this recipe, we use the flat of a brisket for creating tender morsels of chili meat that doesn't come out tasting like pot roast.
This recipe is in the style of Texas barbecue restaurants and is a chili recipe with no beans.
It's a bit like a chile con carne recipe, but we slowly simmer these chunks of beef until they are one solid soup. In fact, you might find that using an immersion blender after the chili cooking gives you even more of a Texas quality chili. Just buzz it a few times to make it extra broken up and mixed well. :)
Ingredients Used:
• 4 slices thick cut bacon
• 3-4 lb. beef brisket, trimmed
• Kosher salt, pepper, onion powder – for liberally sprinkling on the meat while browning.
• 2 c. white onion, small diced (one large onion)
• 5 garlic cloves, pressed through a garlic press
• 1 T paprika
• 1 T. cumin powder
• 3 ½ T Texas chili powder, such as Mexene or Gebhardt’s
• ½ t. dried thyme
• ½ t. chipotle chile powder
• ½ t. salt
• 1 quart beef broth
• ½ c. strong black coffee (you can save this from your morning coffee)
• 28 oz. can whole tomatoes, in juice
I have full step-by-step instructions on the blog and you can read lots of reviews by readers who have won chili cookoffs using this recipe, made this chili and modified the recipe, or even substituted smoked brisket.

Chili is one of those meals that everyone knows how to make and thinks their chili is the best. I get it. That being said, I've always been on the hunt for that chili recipe.
You know, the one that's gonna blow minds and win championships. Let me tell you I've made 100's of chilis in my 50 plus years. I have 2 chili recipes that have stuck around. Only 2.
This is what I call Chili #1. Does that mean there is a chili #2? Sure does. Entirely different beast. We'll cover that one later. Is Chili #1 Award Winning Chili good enough to win awards? Yes, and it has! Try it ... what do you have to lose? If you do try it, leave me a comment below and let me know how it turned out.
This chili does have beans in it and I know not everyone likes beans in their chili. I get it.. just leave them out, no big deal.
Oh, and do not be afraid. I know the ingredient list is loooonnngggg. I have three words for you: Mise en place. You get this together the night before, chop your veg, measure out your spices, this is soooo easy to put together. I participate in chili cook offs and I made HUUGGEEE portions of this stuff. Mise en place is the key to a stress free chili. I promise.
Ingredients:
2 pounds of ground chuck
1 pound of hot Italian sausage
3 (15 ounce) cans of red kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
2 (15 ounce) cans of chili beans in spicy sauce
1 (6 ounce) can of tomato paste
2 (28 ounce) cans of diced tomatoes with the juice
1 large onion chopped

1 red bell pepper seeded and chopped
3 jalapeno's total. 2 seeded and chopped and 1 for floating on top
4 slices of bacon fried to a crisp then chopped

1 TBS of Worcestershire sauce
1 TBS minced garlic
1 TBS dried oregano
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp hot pepper sauce

How to Make the Best Chili Ever
This hearty, meaty chili will fill up the hungriest of appetites. This recipe makes a big ole batch of chili. This recipes contains 4 lbs of meat! 3 lbs of ground meat and 1 lb of chuck roast or stew meat. I love this recipe with venison instead of beef as well. Any combo of meats works but having plenty of ground meat plus some large chunky meat that will break down and get super tender during a 6-8 hour cook is the best.
If you want to try this recipe with venison, but don't hunt, our friends at Maui Nui Venison sellship amazing Axis deer meat. It's the one of the cleanest tasting game meats and nutrient dense!
This recipe will require a large slow cooker or dutch oven. It has a medium spiciness level. You can adjust that by adding more or less chili seasoning.
