Chili looks great! I'd probably eat half of that brisket in the process of making the chili as it looks really good too.

Very nice! Great cook. I've experimented with that recipe a little. I add about twice the liquid and cook it for twice as long. The flavors really blend well together with the added cook time.

I love that recipe!! Best chili I've ever had.

Looks great!  I really have to give this recipe a shot!

Very nice pot of grub.

@Jeremiah was nice enough to invite me for a nice big bowl or two of his. It looks outstanding Craig, and one would have to assume it is awesome. But how does one really know?

He was just hoping you'd bring wine.

He was hoping you'd bring good wine. FTFY

I'd like to throw out there that this recipe is amazing with a crappy brisket. It's a great way to use up a failed brisket. 

I almost feel like that beauty @Dyal_SC used is too nice!!

Great looking grub .....

Awesome Looking Chili !!

Chili is just one of those things I struggle with, my achilles heel--seems I can follow a recipe to a T and still miss---then I can nail other things that some struggle with

Might even win a cook off if you steal it.

Award winning.

Craig, all jokes aside...that is a beautiful pot of chili. Had to get to the laptop to appreciate it. Nice work.

I held off all day. It's been tough.

I'm with you.  Chili is not strong point.  I finally came up with something last year after about 8-10 attempts that was not only serviceable but pretty darned good.  Can't find the recipe now!  Go figure.  I may have to try this one as it looks really good.  For those of you that have made it, any thoughts on including some chipotle peppers in adobo sauce?  I used that in my last few batches last year and they really added to the depth of flavor.

Honestly, if you make this recipe, I would leave it as is without putting in the chipotle. That might complicate the flavor.

Ok thanks!  Sounds good.  Think I will cut the recipe in half though as my wife doesn't like chili and the 2 kids still at home will maybe eat one bowl each.

Nonsense.  I've made variants of this recipe a bunch of times, and chipotles in adobo make it even better.  Go easy though, depending on your audience, they get spicy quick.

For a half batch I was just thinking one pepper with a Tablespoon or so of adobo sauce.

Like your thinking.  He doesn't have a clue.

It freezes really well too, so make a full batch and freeze half of it.  We'll use 2 cup storage containers, works great to grab one for lunch at the office.
