Chili Practice

Forgot I had these pix. Whipped up this chili a coupla weeks ago using a 2.5 lb chuck roast. I grilled the steak over a bed of JD whiskey barrel wood until it was well done and until the smoke set in, then pulled it and diced it up for the chili.  Then simmered it for a couple hours, covered in the DO.  Had some onion sausage in there too. The smoke stood out pretty well and the steak had great texture in the end.

Looks like a great bowl of chili!  Those are some pretty awesome pics as well!

Would it be better to low & slow the meat to maximize the smoke, or is that just a waste of time? I was thinking of trying this with a hunk of top round, but I'm worried it'll turn into leather. Yours looks terrific.

keep practicing...

Leftover, leftover brisket, goes into Chili. I cook the brisket, and hope nobody eats much, so I can have a lot of Brisket chili. Is that wrong or what?

I can't tell you how good that looks to me. Thanks for sharing.

Thx y'all!  @Kayak, I've done it that way too.  This time though, I was wanting small hunks of meat for texture purposes instead of pulled beef. The texture was really good. And very tender after it simmered for a couple of hours.

I guess that will have to do.

Sad to know you'll end up losing to some of Robin's imported canned chili.

I know, right?!  LOL!  If the old man wins again, we will never hear the end of it.

My chili secret is adding a can of manwich.  It was a family secret recipe and I just went full Leroy Jenkins.  And some pee.

Remaining on top....is tougher than being on top......you boys (and Nicole) better be bringing it. You will be getting my best shot......with only 6 ingredients.

I plan on bringing LOTS of beer to share, in hopes of leveling the playing  field in my favor.

Can I sub Regular Manwich or does it need to be thick and chucky???

@nolaegghead , a friend of mine won her office chili throw down and that was her secret weapon.
