Best Brisket I’ve had

[JDCPAgolferHorn]

In a high school chemistry class, the chemistry teacher would periodically make chili using the bunsen burners and beakers. He added Ranch Style pinto beans to his chili. He called it Train Wreck.
Many years later, I replicated the recipe and it was still outstanding.

 

[LongfellowDrew]

Good chili starts with equal amounts of seared venison chili meat and cubed round steak. Lots of chili powder, some cumin and salt. Add liberal amounts of chopped jalapenos and seranos. Have some fresh cornbread on the side.

I got this recipe that got me 2nd place in our neighborhood cookoff. Not sure how I got 2nd should’ve been 1st but everyone said it was great oh well. Has a few different chilis in it so I guess it can get a little spicy.

You can add or change the meats but this is the base pretty much. I’ve done a Stout chili but it was too sweet.

Appreciate it, LFD. I enjoy trying new recipes.

The neighbors used Dominion Systems to count the votes. LFD you were robbed.

LFD, on the bell peppers, is that one of each color, or just one total? (your recipe says "red, yellow, or green")

Fun factoid, all those colored bell peppers are the same pepper--- just at different times of ripeness.

i use them all (1 of each)but some people don’t like the sweetness of the yellow. But for me all of the peppers are good!

I wish it was cold I’m ready for some chili and pozole rojo!

How the hell do you get grind 3lbs of beer? Jk buddy, I'm gonna give this a run but a bit slower in a dutch oven. It should come out good OR.... I'm gonna wreck it. 😆

I use a dutch (Le Creuset) and it can just sit in the oven slow cooking if you want. And LMAO I didn’t even notice the beer part.

I have a cheaper Lodge one that I've had for about 15 years and is still in good shape. I like to cook gumbo in it.

 

[LonghornMM]

Just seasoned up a brisket. Going to put it on the pit first thing in the morning for dinner Saturday evening.

Hook'em!

 

[StrangerHorn]

As I mentioned, it's personal preference. I make a mean pot of chili and put my own homemade pinto beans in it. It is to die for. You're not wrong for not putting beans in your chili, nor is anyone wrong for putting beans in their chili.

If you want some good beans use what I do Colorado Pintos , you can damn sure tell the diff, every one ask me what I do...lol that's my secret... Tery them MM, you might can get them at Wole foods, I get my from Moody's meats and he can't keep them in stock..,.

Seasoning g messes a Brisket up..LOL I like to smole with Mesquite smoke for 4 hrs at the far end of the pit then build the fire up to 300 and let it go all night, you can slice it so easy..., every one in family comes to eat brisket at my house...

You mean you don’t put no salt or pepper just a 10-12lb chunk of meat in a smoker?

There's no way in hell you can cook a piece of meat without seasoning and it be good. Salt, pepper, and garlic is all you need on brisket. Really you can just go S&P and be good, but you have to at least have those 2.

The mesquite smoke flavors the meat,,smoke it for 4 hrs and you will see a perfect pink ring and good tasting , half of the BBQ guys here in CC do this and they sell the shit outa it

 

[LonghornMM]

FB, I don't know where you get your brisket from, but where I get mine, it doesn't come seasoned, lol. You can't go wrong with kosher salt, course ground black pepper and garlic powder. Zach's brisket rub and Lawry's seasoned salt are pretty good as well.

I don't know any reputable BBQ guy that doesn't at least use salt and pepper.

I'm a big fan of Lawry's seasoned salt. I don't use it on brisket a whole bunch but I use it all then time on pork ribs.

Anasazi beans--- I think that's their official name.

Good thing I only do seafood when I'm on the coastline. 😆

I'd be willing to give it a taste but man, it sure sounds like jerky to me.

Yup haven't had any complaints and there is never none left..
