What’s up food family! Today I’m taking on a huge challenge – making my first ever authentic Texas style brisket chili! You know what that means… NO BEANS! Just pure, meaty goodness that’ll make any Texan proud.
I’m combining the best of both worlds here – smoky cubed brisket that I already had on hand with fresh ground brisket, plus all the classic fixings. We’re talking diced red onions, garlic, adobo peppers, crushed tomatoes, fire roasted tomatoes, and some incredible Meat Church Texas chili seasoning to tie it all together.
What makes this chili special:
-Uses both smoked cubed brisket AND fresh ground brisket
-Authentic Texas style (sorry bean lovers!)
-Perfect for using up leftover brisket from your last BBQ session
-Super simple slow cooker method that anyone can master
-Amazing smoky flavor that’ll warm you up as the weather cools down
The best part? This recipe is foolproof! Just 8-10 hours in the slow cooker and you’ve got yourself restaurant-quality chili that’s perfect for game day, family dinners, or just when you want something hearty and delicious.
Recipe highlights:
✅ Ground brisket + cubed smoked brisket combo
✅ Traditional Texas seasonings
✅ No beans (but hey, add them if you want!)
✅ Slow cooker friendly
✅ Smoker option for extra flavor
I’ve got to be honest – this turned out way better than I expected! The smoked brisket just falls apart and creates this incredible texture, while the ground brisket adds that perfect meaty base. Combined with those smoky chipotles and a hint of liquid smoke, this chili is absolutely next level.
