Brisket & Rib Meat Chili

CTMike

Found some brisket and baby back rib meat in the freezer, it’s in the low 60s here this weekend so SWMBO decided chili was the order of the day. She wanted to be able freeze quite a bit so I pulled out the largest DO that I have:

Started with a bunch of fire roasted diced tomatoes, beans (yah I know - chili in Texas doesn’t have beans - I don’t live in Texas and we like beans in chili), 2 packages of Carroll Shelby’s chili seasoning, onions, jalapeños, Penzey’s chili powder, and more cayenne. Came out great - the ribs were made with a hot honey rub so there is some sweet to go with the heat.

The DO and lid weighs 24 lbs empty. Add in 3 1/2 gallons of chili and it was over 50 lbs full.

I added black and kidney beans, we like beans in our chili.

That looks amazing. It was about 92 here today so I’m looking forward to chili season.

Excellent cook as always.

Nice!  I've started mixing in some pulled pork to my latest batches of Salado brisket chili. It really adds another element that enhances things quite a bit.  

(and we like beans in our chili too - haters gonna hate)

Chili looks great! We like beans in our chili and will even occasionally add corn.

That looks tremendous! Unless it's going on a hot dog, we are also a pro-beans in this house.

Although, I will admit to putting chopped dill pickle on top of my chili, along with sour cream and shredded cheddar.

We were having a simple salad with some chili (with beans at our house) when I accidentally dropped some thousand island dressing in my chili. Don't really remember how that happened but I went ahead and ate the chili with the dollop of thousand island in it and it was very tasty. 
I have been topping chili with thousand island dressing ever since. It is a strange, but very good combination. Much better than sour cream.
