- čas přidán 27. 11. 2020
- Everyone has a secret for their homemade chili recipe. Here's mine. The ingredients are familiar, but it comes down to dialing up a few key components to get the depth and perfect balance of flavors we're looking for. Yes, I'm confident enough to say perfect. The result is a deeply flavored, complex, beefy chili that is worth the extra time.

Hi, im from Vietnam here. I just made this 😍 even though I couldn't find the Mexican chillies here, I just used the spiciest chillies I could here and followed your methods. So worth it. Thank you for the recipe
Idk how Vietnam works but if Amazon is a thing around there U can order a 4oz pack of almost any of those dried chiles for under 10$
Yall have solid high spice chili so I'm sure it was just as good
You don't want the spiciest chilies as he didn't use the spiciest chilis in his. He used different types of chilis for their aroma or whatever.
Savory chili's. I'll send them to you idf needed.
Bros, I wanna send you this.
Just made this last night. Holy moly the extra steps were so worth it. Having a chili cook off today and even though it is “not a competition” I will be victorious.
Haha make those other Chilis look silly
@@BrianLagerstrom more like holy “mole”… am ah right?
@@BrianLagerstrom your awesome...thank you.
Corey...every chili cook off is a competition. Who are we kidding here.
@@Obwoodlandj this is very true
Hi Brian, not sure if you're going to get this comment, but I wanted to thank you for this video and the time and effort it took to make. You were quite honest when you said that it would be a cook off winner because it definitely was😊 I made this chili for a chili cook off we had at work and it was a WINNER!! Thank you so much again and KEEP COOKIN😉
Awesome! So glad! Haha competition winning 🏆
Cooking this for a chili cook off at work in a few weeks and am hoping for the same result! :)
@@westonparksdid you win?!?
I made this for my family and it was one of the best chili’s I’ve had. So far I’ve made about 3 or 4 of your recipes and my family has really enjoyed them. Thanks for taking my cooking to the next level.
Same! His roast, pancakes, a few other things. Preppy Kitchen is also good. And America's Test Kitchen.
The problem with home-ground beef isn't grinding it, it's cleaning the grinder afterwards.
If you do it while it’s almost frozen, it’s not a problem. Same with grinding cheese. Get ‘em really really cold and stiff first.
Try running bread threw it that will get rid of alot of the meat stuck in there and bread is easier to clean out.
That’s basically why people eat out. They hate cleaning up after eating
My local butcher will grind up a beef steak in front of me which I use for chilli, pasta and making burger patties - beats cleaning that mess up at home. That said it does cost and at the cost of living these days, I have it for a treat rather than a regular thing.
@@ToowokeforFlorida That was my uncles approach to women.
Then again, he was a mortician.
I love the broiling of the ground beef -- never thought of that! You are absolutely right, nobody cooks their chili long enough for the beef to get tender. Great job here.
I use stew meat, and make chili in a crockpot...it ends up pretty tender :)
@@DHFHades same I basically treat it the same way I treat Bolognese. It needs some hours at a slow temp.
Can't agree about the cook time. Cooking your chili too long will result in an overcooked, mealy paste. But maybe you like that. I don't.
@@kurtjohnson4816 I believe we are aiming for a middle ground here. Long enough to render all the fat in the meat, without breaking down everything in the sauce.
I've always made mine the day before I want to serve it. Get everything together low on the stove for a couple hours, then off the heat with the lid off to start to cool, then in the fridge overnight. Back on the stove on low in the morning, eat in the evening. Every flavor is saturated through every bean (if I put them in), veggie, and bit of meat. It just gets better the longer it's leftover :)
Today I finally finished a batch of this chili without watching this video and all from memory. This chili recipe has really changed my cooking game. I owe you so much. This stuff really is dope!
I made this for my church's chili cook-off, using ground chuck and canned beans. My chili tied for 2nd place! It's the best chili I have ever had. It has so much flavor and richness, which the three different types of chilies helped bring. My family approves of it, even my brother who doesn't usually like chili. Thanks Bri, all of your recipes have been a success never lacking in flavor.
Made your chili the other day and it is hands down the best chili I’ve ever made. Thank you for the great recipe! It motivated me to finally pick up some proper dried chilies.
Hell yes, thanks for giving it a try. I’m so
Stoked on how many people have reported back that it worked out for them. Thanks for the comment Leo.
I see you added hot sauce at the end…my ignorance would lead me to believe that the dried chilis would make this so hot to begin with…I really need to try some in my next chili!
Looks great! A couple of things I put in my chili are: sauté diced jalapeños, bacon fat, in addition to the beef i brown some pork country ribs, cook until bones come out and the fat renders it’s natural gelatin that helps to thicken, also use chilies in adobo.
Thanks
Hey Bri! Just wanted to drop in and thank you for this video/recipe. Followed it nearly verbatim and won a very close 2nd, nearly 1st place at my work’s chili cook-off today! So many compliments from co-workers on the delicious and complex flavor profile. Worth the extra work!
I love how easily we can share recipes and most importantly, those secret ingredients!
As a topping I recommend: Take 200g creme fraîche or sour cream, mix it with the juice of one lime and the zest of said lime (I use a microplane to zest the line), one big or two small crushed cloves of garlic, salt it to taste and ideally let it rest in the fridge over night. I love it on chili but it also accompanies fish quite nicely.
i wonder if greek Tsatsiki goes well with chilli ... i bet yes
Sounds like it'd be a nice topping on tacos as well
Then add some finely chopped chives for an extra hit of onion flavour!
Finally got around to making this, and I had never thought of adding vinegar to chili before but it totally works when you balance it with the sugar and everything. I also added chunks of beef chuck in addition to the ground short rib. Ran out of worcestershire sauce so I used fish sauce + soy sauce instead, worked out great. I love the caramelization step in the oven--that's the best move dude, really deepens the flavors. Great recipe, I'm totally making this again.
Fish sauce is the secret umami bomb! I'd have added it anyways.
@@brcnv Well worcetershire sauce is basically fish sauce with onions and garlic and secret spices, but same umami bomb magic.
@@50sKid So add both :)
jalepeno juice works great too
Good call adding chunks as well.
YES! The paste + powder is the secret. Just did that with the same combo of chilis and powder for my birria, and it was amazing. Best ever.
Hey Bri, made this chilli a few times now and it's by far the best chilli I've ever had. Broiled beef is really beefy and the cocoa, chilli, spice mix makes for a really interesting and intense sauce. The seasoning then lifts it to another level. Had other chillies since making this and nothing can complete. Nice one!
Dude, love how you cook and explain things, love your directions. Will be watching/cooking from now on!!
Thanks so much Victoria!
I love watching these videos while eating ramen over the sink like an animal
This chili is incredible, even when taking some of the shortcuts. Hands down the best I've ever made/eaten. Thank you!
Made this tonight, it was excellent!!! Thanks Brian, love the content.
I'll tell you Brian, you have the best food channel on CZcams. There are so many "pro tips" that you throw in to your videos, which brings the food to the next level. Keep up the outstanding work my friend, and thanks for sharing so much with us!!
Thanks very much for being here Jimmy.
Food Wishes is also great.
@@BrokenCurtain Yes, it's a great channel, but the cadence of his voice annoys me too much to watch it anymore.
Refika's kitchen is also inspiring
and Bruno Albouze
That has to be the best chili recipe I've ever seen! I am definitely making this down to the letter! Thank you so much for this amazing recipe Brian! Keep up the great work 👍
Just wanted to say thank you for all your amazing recipes and all your amazing knowledge. We had a Chilli contest for our community and you were my first stop. Literally won and it was miles above the others. I'll be making this chillies for the rest of time. You're awesome.
The flavor in this is deep and rich. By far the best-tasting chili I've ever had. Two observations: (1) at 4 minutes my chili peppers were burnt black, so I had to redo them for 3 minutes at 375; (2) after 25/25 minutes in the InstaPot, my beans were quite mushy, so I substituted canned beans (although I used the liquid from the pressure cooker). This is my third of your recipes to come out fantastic. Thanks!
Comment a few hours later: Haha. I brought this to a chili contest today and I won! People commented on the depth of flavor. Thanks again, Brian!
He mentioned in a later video that his advice to cook the peppers in the oven was unwise and he suggests giving them a minute in the microwave. I did it just now and it seems to work fine as well
@@jeniferjoseph9200could you tell me which video he references this?
Peppers in the oven is the way to do it you just have to keep an eye on it like 2 or 3 minutes max
Your videos are THE best. How do you not have half a million subscribers by now? Come on CZcams.
Haha thanks! Here’s to hoping the algorithm finds me!
My magic 8 balls say YES
@@BrianLagerstrom The algorithm must be changing in your favour, I just found you... LOVE your channel, presentation style and recipes. Thanks so much dude!
@@BrianLagerstrom maybe you're not dope enough because you don't overuse "dope" more than you already do, dope
This is the first video I’ve seen too and it’s basically a clone of Joshua Weissman’s style.
Wow, I did the best with what had in house, and I gotta say I've never thought of adding cocoa power and it is AWESOME, really gave it a small hint of a mole flavor.
This is going to be my new go to chili recipe.
Awesome thank you!
Sent this on to all my buds, and chilli's are being fired up all over the country. Several game changers here Brian, wow. Thanks for this one man, it earned my subscription 🤣
Hey Bri... I made this recipe over the weekend and it was dark, mysterious, and a flavor bomb. Two days later and I can still smell the roasted peppers in the kitchen! LOL Yet another incredible tasting dish that can be made by the average home cook. Keep up the good work cause you are leveling up my cooking! Dope Chili achievement unlocked!
Hats off to you, Bri! This is indeed a DOPE chili! So many great things about this recipe...but making that chili base is a total game changer! I made 2 different chilis...one with the flavy ground short ribs, and one with a trumped up vege for a couple of non-meat-eaters in the fam. Both of them bangers! Keep it up, bro!
The other advantage adding chocolate to spicy dishes is that you get the spicy flavor and heat with every bite you take. But the lingering after burn is lessened or gone entirely.
I'll be testing this out today with a pretty spicy Carolina reaper powder.
I used this as a basis and made a couple modifications based on availability of dried chilies in my area and won an office chili cook off. Your statement of winning competitions with this was right, Brian!
Happy stomachs all around!
Briaaaaaaaan. I just made this my guy. Best chili ever. IMO the key that makes this so stupid fire dumb delicious is that 45 minutes uncovered. That caramelized flavor is what puts it over the top. Thanks my g.
I’m a chili master and I still might make this. There are some very good ideas here and I’ll never stop improving. Incidentally, I like the addition of beans. Anyone who claims “authentic” Texas chili shouldn’t have beans ignores the fact that beans were often served as a side with early chili recipes, but also that they were an economical and easy “stretcher” of chili recipes.
I’m no purist. Beans are dope. Thanks for watching!
Very true. Beans were, and often still are, served as a side. I don't particularly like the texture of the bean in there myself but grew up eating chili with beans in it from time to time, especially on ranches where I worked and whatnot.
thank you for recognizing that the world doesn't revolve around Texas! Haha. A big take away for me was the addition of cocoa powder.
I've made your hour pan pizza twice this week and am making this chili for family Christmas tomorrow. Bomb as hell dude, love it
I made this chili last Thursday. I made two pots of it. Mostly because we are so broke and we had all the ingredients. I only used organic ground beef. Not your fancy short rib stuff. It is some of the best chili I have ever made. I agree that The chocolate really makes it. The vinegar makes it and I used honey and that makes it. We did use sour cream and cheddar cheese as toppings but instead of green onions we used finally chopped purple onions and they did not disappoint. We made cornbread twice and naan once. My husband shared some with a workmate on Friday because there was so much.
This morning I am home having the last portion for breakfast with a fried egg on top and toasted cornbread. It is just as good as the first day. This recipe has definitely revolutionized how I am going to be making chili in the future. Thank you so much.
One thank you just doesn’t seem enough so how about 1000 thanks from us. Take care we are following you for life.
My second time making this recipe. I used a big leftover of braised beef roast, and browned it your way since it seemed so important for flavor. Yes! Two , or three types of beans are not too many. The achieved depth of flavor, color, and complexity are wonderful. Hot whole-wheat pitas are what was available, with a mixed green salad heavy on the arugula. Very cold brown ale. Wonderful dinner recipe.
I made a chili really similar to this a few weeks back. I bought a meat grinder from Harbor Freight for $50 and ground down brisket trimmings. Great video!
This looks amazing. Can’t get with beans in chili (only because I don’t like them, not because I’m a chili snob or anything). But I’ve got to try making chili paste from chilis instead of using chili powder. Love cocoa in chili - adds a deep bitter savory note. So many good ideas here.
Making this right now!!!! I added a jalapeño as well for the flavorrrr. I’ve made this once before and it was amazing I know this time will be even better!!!! Thanks for the recipe!!!
Made this last night, best chili I’ve ever had. Barely had to tweak it at the end. Made some sweet cornbread to go along with it and it was amazing
This is so incredibly close to my chili which is a modified family recipe even down to the peppers used, though the amount of each changes depending on what we can find. Main difference is I don't use baking cocoa powder. I use Abuelita's Mexican hot chocolate tablets. I use two of them per batch and grind them up into a powder before tossing them in. I also use slightly more brown sugar by about a tablespoon. I also make my own red pepper flakes using the same dried pepper blend you toasted sometimes with some sichuan chiles added in. It ends up being an awesome pepper flake blend to toss on mexican or asian themed dishes which are made a lot in this house due to my partner being mexican and we equally share a love for asian foods. It's great on pizza too.
Looks great....I always add about a cup of strong black coffee, and a splash of balsamic vinegar to my chili.
Made this for a group of friends tonight along with some home made sourdough sandwich bread topped with everything bagel seasoning. They loved it Brian. They absolutely loved it. Thanks man.
Made the easy version of this for dinner tonight and it was awesome. Definitely a new favorite chili recipe in our house. Will definitely be making it again and again!
Made this for my family and they loved it so much! Only change I made was I used ground beef instead of grinding short rib. Was fantastic!
was it spicy?
I made this tonight and I’m so happy I tried it! I usually really don’t like chili, mostly because I don’t like the texture of the beans but also because most of the “chilies” I’ve tasted have been bland and watery. Pressure cooking the beans completely changed the texture for me, and this chili is thick and glossy and flavourful. I’m so happy to find chili I like!
Chili doesn't have beans. lol
Thanks, Brian. I made this last night and it was fantastic. I thought my chili was good, but this elevated it a couple levels. The fam loved it. I was a bit short on time so I used ground beef and just browned it in a skillet. Also, I had to cut the cook time short. It was still amazing.
As info, I tried toasting the chiles at 450 for 5 minutes and they were nearly charred. I had plenty so I threw out the charred ones and put some fresh ones in for 2.5 minutes. That was perfect.
Thank you so much for this recipe, chef. It is beyond fantastic! 🤩
Very close to the competition chili we make here in Texas.
I love some fresh, dried, and powdered chilis too.
Mexene, Gebhardt, and Penderys are all very good chili powders.
You have the magic mix of whole dried chilis in your recipe
Poblanos are great, Love em. I use some Mexican chunk chocolate ( Abuelas hot cocoa brand ).
A Shiner Bock and a Lil strong coffee ain't bad either.
Looks great
He put beans though. Not allowed in most competition chilli
@@drcurran235It's only not allowed in a CASI sponsored competition, and you have to be super hardcore to do one of those. Any local cookoff allows beans. Most people prefer texture in their chili and not just sloppy Joe filling.
Correctomundo!
@@mobus1603
I made this mean chili (long version) and it was awesome! One caution is to watch the chiles as they toast in the hot oven. I burned the first batch badly so lowered the temperature, decreased the time a bit and the second batch was perfect.
Great call out, I should have mentioned. thanks for making.
ah... i think i might have done this too... cooked the dried chillis for 6mins in the oven at 450°F, and they went black and ashy... first time making chilli so wasn't sure if that was okay and went ahead and used them anyway... everything is cooking now; kinda hoping it doesn't end up with a burnt taste... 🥺
My chiles began smoking heavily at 450F at 6 minutes and felt and smelled burnt so I tried a second time, lowering the temp to 400 and went 5 minutes. They smelled and felt much, much better. We'll see how the chili turns out in about 2 hours when we try it.
Looks amazing Brian, I’m going to make this. Thank you!
I am making this tonight for my family. We did not add beans since most of us hates beans. I made your recipe for American max and cheese recipes. I have searching for a way to get my max and cheesy for yrs. Now I have two to use. Thank you. Please keep making new videos.
Also, I usually use a dash of coffee grounds in my chili. This also adds depth and character. Will definitely try cocoa powder next!
Use instant coffee instead. Grounds will add a certain amount of grittiness that is unpalatable. You can also substitute brewed coffee instead of water for a chilli.
character?
lmfao you just say words.
Coca powder instant espresso packet and smoked beer is the key to my chili *shhhh* don't tell anyone 🤫
You just blew my mind broiling the chopped beef🤯 . I'm definitely stealing that.
Good! Thanks for watching
Yeah, me too.
Great little recipe and video! This has been added to my favorites folder for recipes! Will make!
Been putting coca and decaf coffee in my chili for years, gives that depth. Thanks Bri!
Thank you Brian - without doubt the best chilli I've ever made!
BTW - a tip from an old man - I have the same cutting board - I'd suggest you give give it a little (regular) love using mineral oil to prevent it cracking as it ages... 😊👍🏻
What I've found works great and adds an interesting depth of flavor and texture is processing some tortilla chips down to a crumble and putting that in with my spices.
Made this last night. Wow. It was deeply dark brown, w/ an incredible depth of flavor. I kept 2 lbs of the chuck in chunks and had one lb of it ground up. It filled the house w/ the most amazing chili aroma. It was epic, and we are so glad we have a ton of leftovers.
Fairly new to cooking but I use this chili recipe for everything: with beans, without beans, chicken, beef, as a marinade; I just love the three different types of peppers and the combo of cinnamon and cocoa, it’s awesome!
In fact I’m going to make some right now just got home from the store
Nice technique. Never thought of cocoa powder, tho' it makes perfect sense. Gonna add it to my next batch.
This is next level chili! Like all your recipes, amazing channel, subscribed immediately. I'm impressed by your knowledge and skill level and you inspired me to get the Le Cruset aswell as a food processor! Always wanted to make ground beef at home but that i could just do this in a food processor blew my mind 🤯😍
Also hoping to find this kind of chilis here, if not guess i'll have to grow them in my garden :)
Lots of love from Germany!
Made this (sans beans) for dinner tonight and it's the best chili I've ever made. Mucho good.
So I was looking up chilli recipes and found this video and your channel. Liked, subscribed and all notifications on. Can't wait to watch more
For the idea of caramelizing the meat under the broiler alone you get my subscription. Well played my man, I’m sure you’ll be flying among 500-1000k subs soon :)
Thanks, and I hope u right
That broiled ground beef is giving me great ideas. Thanks for the tip.
My plesh
Just devouring my second bowl of this chili as I type. Once again, you've knocked it out of the park.
I'm really digging the meat texture from grinding it in the food processor. The ability to have full control over the fat content is a bonus. Broiling on a sheet pan solves the problem of trying to sear ground meat on the stove top as it sweats and swims in it's juices.
Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
I used this video as a guideline for making my own take on Chili tonight and it wound up being the best batch I've ever made BY FAR. I didn't have cocoa, but I did use cinnamon (VERY little) and I hit that perfect sweet spot. I didn't have the resources to cook my own chilis, but I had two kinds of chili powder on hand already. I also used 3 different kinds of chopped peppers. I had no idea frying off the spices first in the oils would enhance the dish so much, and I usually make the chili in the pot of cooking pinto beans themselves, which I see now has been a huge mistake. Thanks for setting me straight!
(Also, if you throw in half a bottle of your favorite IPA before the last half hour of simmer, it's better than vinegar.)
I made this last week - it caught my eye due to the dark rich color. This is the best chili I have had and I made it myself! Family loved it.
Thanks for the recipe. I'll be making many more of your recipes.
Thank you for watching! Glad it hit
This was legitimately delicious and some of the best chili I've ever had. Loved it. Didn't find the cocoa flavor too pronounced as I thought it might be while watching the video. I did find that when making a double batch, the tenderness of the meat benefitted from doubling the initial 90 min cook time. Look forward to move videos.
Thanks for trying! I’m working on Texas chili this week
So excited for this meal tonight.
Good job young man! Keep up the good work. I just watched your video for the first time and now I have subscribed to your channel. You're very informative and on point with your statements throughout the entire video.
You should have made a recommendation to scrape the stuff on the sides back into the chili, that stuff is just a flavorful as fond.
Hey Brian, big fan of your videos! I've made three of your recipes, the yeasted waffle, the fried chicken sandwich (sans buns) and now a bit of a combo between this chili and your Texas chili. I made if for a chili cook off and I placed last, sadly I feel their tastes were better suited to more basic chili's, because I felt mine was the clear winner!!! Just venting my frustration!!!
Some people have trained their taste buds off of fast food and processed crap and it shows.
This is a GREAT bowl of Chilli!!!!! Your whole mouth vibrates with flavour combinations. The best part is, when inspiration struck, none of the ingredients seemed readily available. I don't know if we're dealing with supply chain issues but, I was forced to make the "cliff notes version". Now I can't wait to be impressed with the dish the chef originally conceived! Thanks for making it exciting to put these everyday meals on the table again.
My family is having a chili cook off and I am definitely basing my recipe off of this! It was so delicious
In addition to cocoa (I usually use good quality chopped dark chocolate), add a bit of cinnamon. Works great!
And add some oregano.
Excellent video. Can’t wait to try it. One FYI, the box grater is made to use on its side. It will catch the grated cheese for you to transport to a bowl. Keep’m coming. Love your channel!
Thanks for the tip! Thanks for watching
Holy crap, dude! That looks incredible, Brian!
Hey Bri, thanks for this, works every time, as a chilli enthusiast, have tried many recipes, this hits home the best
I watch a lot of cooking videos, yet this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone grind their beef in a food processor over using an expensive meat grinding attachment to a Kitchen Aid. Didn’t know this was a good alternative.
its not if you are looking for a good mince but for stuff like this sure
"grind your own beef, cook your own beans, and make all this chili paste?"
Proceeds to use beef broth from a box.
sometimes you cant do everything.
I've tried I dunno how many different kinds of broth. I cannot find one that actually has a beefy flavor. All the store-bought brands seem to be pretty much just water and salt now. I reduced 64 oz of famous broth down to the color most videos use for broth, a nice dark brown, and it had a nasty taste to it. I've converted to 'better than bullion'!! Much better overall flavor.
@@dwaynehendricks7842 Jean Pierre has a great video on making broths. And onyo.
@@Pteromandias ohh no, I'm not gonna spend 3-4 days and the hours of prep when I can just open a jar and mix it with water!
You forgot to give him shit for using canned tomatoes, too. 🙄🤡
I made this last weekend with what I could find at my local grocery store. It was so good that I made a special trip to a great Mexican supermarket to get all the chilis and a specialty butcher shop to get the beef short rib. I. Can't. Wait. to try it with All The Things this weekend. Thank you. 😊 (I did learn that I needed to heat the dried chilis for MUCH LESS time than called for...like 3 minutes...the hard way)
The same thing happened to me. The chilis burned after 6 minutes in the oven and sadly it impacted the flavor of the dish. Next time I'll either heat them at a lower temperature or for less time.
I really enjoy your videos. You have such a great, friendly personality. Thanks for the recipe and techniques. If I had that blender I would make that purée! That is a game changer.
This recipe was easily the best chili I've ever made. The views on this are criminally low.
Thanks Ken, so glad you made it.
its not chili, its a stew
@@fingfangfoom2399 he clearly made a chilli hahaha
Made this as close to the recipe I could close to a year ago. Won 1st place at my work chili cook-off! Making it again this year with a few subs. Also made it tonight with my brother for his law firms chili competition. If he doesn’t get top 3, he needs a new firm.
I’m prepping my shopping list today for a work chili cook off and dethrone the current champ and take the traveling trophy.
Update?😆
@@colinwilbur9459 this years cook off I took 3rd place.
@@colinwilbur9459 out of 14 entires, and judged by a 3 person panel from another part of my organization, I won best chili. I bought a scale and cusinart Dutch oven just to compete. I have the traveling trophy on my desk just to flex on all my coworkers until the next cook off!
I just found your channel and I love the content. You cook layers of flavour 👌
Nothing better than a bowl of really great chili. I will be taking some tips from this amazing looking pot of omgoodness. Thanks Brian. Loving the videos
Great recipe and process. I always add balsamic vinegar to balance acid and sweetness as it adds both!
Yes this is an excellent Idea. I always add balsamic to my bolo. Why not chili?
Gonna try this with a brisket I’m going to smoke next weekend. Weather permitting. I never claimed to make a mean chili. It’s hard to make a bad one with smoked brisket but it’s time to step up my game with a real chili base like this.
That sounds awesome! good luck let me know how it goes.
Brian's recipe definitely looks to be on point, can't wait to try it.
As far as brisket chili goes, my best friend makes one in which he smokes the brisket with a chili spice rub. He roasts dried chilis like Brian did, but instead of blending them with beef stock he grinds them and mixes them with the likes of granulated garlic, paprika, and such. He uses that for his brisket rub. He also uses dark chocolate, which brings a ton of flavor. Still remember the first time I tried it, you could tell there some depth of flavor there, but I couldn't put my finger on it as chocolate.
I made this once.. only shortcut is I used 80/20 ground beef from a supermarket. It's the shiznit. Then my wife said her work is having a cookoff and her boss always wins best chili. Well... I made it once again, totally following recipe (same sub for ground beef), and it won. First place. This is truely the dopest dope chili I've ever had. Good work, Brian!
This looks really good, especially the seasonings you use. When I make chili, I use beef cut into small cubes or strips. I like the stewlike texture of chunks better than ground beef.
God bless you Aunt Karen!!
I’m coveting that Dutch oven!
I’m a lucky guy. It’s a great price of kit.
@@BrianLagerstrom It's real good. I made this chili in a taller and more narrow Dutch oven a few months ago (excellent, excellent recipe); that one is good for baking my batards since the close sides up angle the loaf upwards, but I feel like it doesn't allow the chili to reduce as efficiently as yours. I gotta up my Dutch game.
Just discovered this channel - wow was I missing out. Smart food simplified. Very impressed and now grateful to have a back catalog to troll through. Keep up the good work! And always add an extra splash of cider vinegar to any chili or stew or soup.
Thanks Bri. Keep it comin' !
Made this tonight. Best chilli I've ever had! Paired well with the Safrito rice you made in another video.
I could not say "no" aloud fast enough before you put that whole spoonful of cocoa powder in your mouth! HAHA
i knew it would be dry and awkward, but that was brutal
Second time I comment on this video, just to say I made this three times now and it is indeed the best Chili I ever made and that my friends ever tasted. Thanks a bunch for this recipe.
Killing it. Glad it’s a hit!
Looks amazing. I hope to make this very soon!
Looks wonderful. I used to do a lot of this, soak the beans etc. but not anymore. I use good ol CHILI-O seasoning packet. (Been around 60 yrs) ground beef, chopped onions, can of diced Italian tomatoes, 1 can of light, 1 can of dark kidney beans. A touch of Cumin, minced garlic, red pepper flakes. BAM! Put in crock pot on high for 3-4 hours. Friends go nuts over it! Im a senior citizen that lives in sw Florida and the less time in a warm kitchen, the better! Especially this summer.
