Substituted smoked ground venison sausage for the beef. It was amazing!
Substituted smoked ground venison sausage for the beef. It was amazing!!
Just did this recipe, followed exactly and it turned out great. I’m not a huge spice guy, so probably will back off the chili powder a little bit. Used chuck roast, 250 for 2 hours, then wrapped for another hour, all on indirect heat. Turned out nice, but I think I could have cooked it for less time. Overall great!
I have done this a few times and made simple mods like different meat. I have also lowered the heat and smoked for 3-4 hours with hickory. It is the party rave!! No more out of the box chili for me.
What temp did you set at ?
Did you use indirect heat ?
How many hours ?
Made this many of times. my family loves it. About 3 years ago I entered into a chili cook off and took 1st place over 12 others.
Going to try again this weekend!
I have made this about 10 times over the last couple years. It is the only Chili I make. It is spicy, but you can reduce the heat by limiting the chipotles. I use whatever steak is on special, grill it up then dice it. I am waiting for a batch right now and can’t wait.
Was better 2nd time with only one chipotle added. Still added more than enough heat and kickback.
This chili is the BOMB!!! Not sure why others thought it was too spicy… we made a few modifications to spice it up a bit more. Added jalapeno peppers and spicy italian sausage. Also used ground moose meat instead of the beef.
What temperature is he cooking at?
Matt, that’s my question too. What is smoked beef?
Way too spicy. I’m the only one that could eat it and I was sweating like crazy.
What exactly is smoked beef? Is that referring to brisket?
I smoke a brisket flat; put about 1/2 of the brisket in the fridge overnight (uncut); slice and cube it the next day (slices and cubes better cold in my opinion); vacuum seal and freeze until I am ready to make the chili; also, I crutch the brisket (wrap tight in heavy duty aluminum foil) once it hits about 165 degrees and put it in a foil pan to collect all the juice; I put the juice in the fridge overnight and scrape the fat off the top the next day; then I freeze the juice in a ziploc container; I replace the beef broth from the recipe with the juice I collect from the brisket.
I wondered the same. I grilled London broil and cubed it, and it worked out really well. Not sure if the idea is too smoke brisket the day before or something .
yep, please answer what is smoked beef ??/
