Introduction
This hearty, ultra-meaty Texas-style chili is loaded with ground beef, hot breakfast sausage, and a smoked chuck roast. Simmered low and slow on a pellet grill with fire-roasted tomatoes and dark beer, it develops an incredibly deep, rich smoky flavor and tender texture.
Step 1
Sauté the diced red onions, minced garlic, and the diced chipotle peppers with their adobo sauce in a cast-iron skillet for about 10 minutes until softened.
Step 2
In another skillet, brown the ground beef and hot breakfast sausage together until fully cooked, then drain any excess fat if necessary.
Step 3
Smoke the chuck roast on a smoker at 225°F for 4 to 5 hours (unseasoned), then chop or shred it into bite-sized chunks.
Step 4
In a large Dutch oven, combine all the meats (ground beef, sausage, and chopped chuck roast) with the sautéed onion, garlic, and chipotle mixture.
Step 5
Add 5 tablespoons of the Texas Chili Seasoning to the meat mixture and stir thoroughly.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using a combination of ground meat and chunky chuck roast provides an exceptional variety of textures as the chuck roast tenderizes over the long simmer.
Traditional Texas chili does not include beans, but you can easily add them to this recipe if you prefer.
Simmering uncovered on a smoker adds a beautiful, subtle smoke profile to the chili. If a dark film or smoke spots develop on top, simply skim it off or stir it back in.
Chili always tastes better the next day after the flavors have had time to meld together in the refrigerator.
