We’re in the DelmarvaLife kitchen with Salisbury’s Mike DiFiore making Texas Chili with Brisket.

Texas Chili with Brisket

Cube 2 ½ to 3 pounds of meat into 1” square pieces.

Heavily season the pieces with a rub of 1/3 salt, 1/3 black pepper, 1/3 powdered garlic.

Pan sear the meat on all sides in a saucepan with some olive oil.

Cook in a Crock Pot on in a large pot on the stove.

Add:

2 Large Cans of Tomato Sauce

2 Large Cans of Crush Tomatoes

1 Jalapeno: remove the fins and seeds and chop into medium sized pieces

1 Poblano Pepper: remove the fins and seeds and chop into medium sized pieces

1 White Onion: chop into small pieces or cut into quarters if you want large pieces of Onions in the finished product

Cover with the lid and bring the Chili to a low boil and continue to cook until the pieces of meat are tender. This can be several hours.

Once the meat is tender, reduce the heat to low and crack the lid slightly to let the Chili reduce and thicken. This can be several more hours depending on how thick you want your Chili.

Beans, the big debate! True Texas Chili does not have beans, but 70% of the people surveyed prefer beans in their Chili. If you want beans, add 2 small cans of Black or Kidney Beans to the Chili just long enough for the beans to heat up.

Prior to serving, taste to see if you need any additional salt and pepper of your choice (black pepper, smoky paprika, etc.)
