2 Tbs Cumin, Ground
2 15 1/2 Ozs Can Red Kidney Beans, Habichuelas Colorado
2 15 1/2 Ozs Can Pink Kidney Beans, Habichuelas Rosada
1 Stick Butter
2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1/2 Cup Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon
Use Broth if dry:
2 14 Ozs Can Beef Broth, Swanson
Smoke:
Applewood Chunks & Hickory Chips




Procedure:
1 Because of a time constraint the meat, and everything was done on the stove. After everything was in the DO and boiling, I placed in BGE.
2 Take a 9 quart dutch oven and cook the beef, sausage and bacon in the pot stirring every 5-10 minutes, covered, about 25 minutes. When done, remove and drain.
3 Take the onions, bell peppers and garlic and sauté until translucent.
4 Add the tomatoes and remaining ingredients except beans and beef broth, and bring to a boil. Add the meat back into the pot and stir. Add the spices and stir until blended. Now add the beans, drained.
5 The Large BGE had been set with a tjv spider, high position, direct and the temperature was 350°F. for the first hour. Then dropped to 275°F for the last 3 hours, It is still cooking 4 hours later. Maybe I will shut down the BGE after 6-7 hours and leave the dutch oven over night. Sounds like a plan! Had some applewood pieces and hickory chips for flavor.
6 Been cooking for 4 hours and still going. Added the beef broth and liquid from the beans toward the end as I needed to keep the chili moist.
7 After 6 1/2 hours on the BGE, I added a second can of beef broth, left the Dutch Oven on the BGE and shut the entire system down. Went to the SPA and decided I will deal with this situation in the AM. Good Night Richard. Just got up and checked the pot, still warm and the BEST chili I have made in 40+ years.
8 Am serving with raspberry cornbread muffins.
