    I made this last weekend and it is not only the best chili I've ever cooked, it is also the best chili i've ever tasted.  Great recipe!

    P.S. I used 3 onions as well. It'll be fine :)

    @fruitguy:  So sorry I didn't answer until today.  Santa brought me 2 giant kidney stones on Christmas eve (12 mm and 19 mm) and I was having surgery yesterday while you were in need of information.  You could  have just left the serrano/jalapeno out, or just deseeded them.  Also, more canned tomatoes help the heat.  Hope this helps!

    @lkapigian: I don't think that until the 31st is too long to hold your brisket.  Just don't' cut it up until the night before you cook it, or the day you cook it.  Two "Ideallys" here:  1)  A foodsaver really helps hold meat longer, so it keeps longer.  2) I'd recommend making the chili the day before, or two days before you plan to serve it.  The flavors really melt and mellow.  So much better this way.  I realize we can only do what our time/jobs allow.  Good luck and have fun with it!

    @BeerNBBQ:  So glad you liked the chili!  And....thanks for the trust on the three whole onions. When I was taught to make chili years ago, I was taught to put almost equal quantities of meat and chili.  Somehow it always "works", IMHO.  Plus, it stretches your dollar when making large quantities.

    If it is a little spicy, what would you add to it?
    More heat and spice so it's a lot spicy

    can anyone tell me if I need to cover the pot while simmering for the 3 hours?

    @loveTheEgg:  Cover it for most of the 3 hours, stirring at least every 20-30 minutes.  If it is thinner than you'd like it, let it go with the pot uncovered for awhile.

    I made this chili this on Christmas so we could bring it to my sisters this weekend.  It was a hit!  I only used 2 jalapenos and a little over half the cayenne because my sister is pregnant and has awful heartburn.  It was AWESOME and the heat leave was great.  I will for sure be making this again.  Thank you @EggObsessed for generously sharing this recipe.

    Kelley, I made a pot tonight for Wed consumption. A little bowl full accidentally feel into my mouth( not sure that's a great idea at 9pm) and if it gets better with time, I'm really looking forward to Wed. Good stuff right there!

    We thawed out some for the in-laws and they loved it. I made them a copy of the recipe and sent them back to New Mexico. I'm hoping they'll return the favor when we visit next. Thanks again! great recipe.

    What kind of pot do you cook it in?

    and what's TBL?

    Dutch oven is what I cook it in and TBL is table  spoon.

    I signed up to make chili for a potluck at work but since I don't have enough brisket in the freezer, I threw a chuckie on the Egg today and will try making it with that.  I'm 100% positive that it won't be as good without the brisket but I don't have the time and don't want to spend the money on that right now. LOL  I'm sure it will still be delicious and people will love it but I will know how awesome it could have been.  :)

    Had some leftover chopped brisket from Sunday Funday so decided to finally give this a try... Been on about 2 hrs and it's already killer!!! Brisket was mixed with Franklins espresso and Texas sauces, but it's still fantastic.
