Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds smoked brisket cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon bacon grease or olive oil
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 2 cups bell peppers diced
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups water
  • 16 ounces pinto beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup chili seasoning
  • ¼ cup finely grated carrot optional

Instructions

  • In a dutch oven, melt the bacon grease over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, stirring occasionally. Cook until vegetables are softened. 
  • Stir in the crushed tomatoes, water and chili seasoning. 
  • Add the beans and stir to combine. 
  • If the chili is too acidic, stir in one small finely grated carrot. This is optional but will cut the acidity if needed.

  • Serve with your favorite toppings like cheese, sour cream, jalapeños and cilantro.
