The “Texas Chili” recipe is the most popular of the 5 chili recipes on MeatChurch.com. Grab my Texas Chili seasoning while you’re there! Ingredients:
• 2 lbs ground meat
• 1 lb HOT breakfast sausage
• 1 lb chuck roast (sub brisket or other big cut)
• 3 med red onions, diced
• 1 head of garlic, minced
• 84 oz of tomatoes and sauce total. Use the below or interchange to your liking as long as you use at least 84 ounces)
• 2, 28oz can crushed tomatoes with juice
• 1, 28oz Italian style diced tomatoes with juice
• 1, 7oz can Chipotles in Adobo Sauce, diced. Preserve the liquid.
• 1 beer (sub beef broth)
• 5-6 T Meat Church Texas Chili Seasoning
Add the olive oil to a very large skillet. Sauté the onions, garlic and adobo peppers (including all the liquid from the can). You may have to cook in 2 batches if you don’t have a really large skillet.
Cook for about 10 mins until the onions are translucent. Remove from skillet and place the mixture in your slow cooker or dutch oven.
Cook the ground meat and breakfast sausage completely in the same skillet. Drain the fat and place all of the meat in the slow cooker or dutch oven.
If you are starting with a raw chuck roast, cut it into cubes and brown it in a cast iron skillet. Then place it in the dutch oven or slow cooker.
If you are starting with a smoked chuck then simply cut it into small pieces and dump it into the dutch oven or slow cooker.
By this time you already have the meat, onions, garlic and adobo peppers in your slow cooker or dutch oven. Now add the tomatoes with the juice, 1 beer and 5 T of Meat Church Texas Chili Seasoning. Mix thoroughly.
This chili can cook in 3 hours. However, it is better if you can cook it for 6 - 8 hours. The ingredients are already cooked at this point, but we will simmer this chili all day to break down the meat and meld the flavors together.
If you are using a slow cooker:
Cook the chili on low for 6 - 8 stirring periodically.
If you are you are using a smoker:
Cook the chili at 225 for for 4-5 hours uncovered stirring periodically. Cover and continue to cook for 2-3 more hours. Garnish and enjoy!
