We think this is the best Texas chili recipe and the internet seems to agree. In this recipe, we use the flat of a brisket for creating tender morsels of chili meat that doesn't come out tasting like pot roast.
This recipe is in the style of Texas barbecue restaurants and is a chili recipe with no beans.
It's a bit like a chile con carne recipe, but we slowly simmer these chunks of beef until they are one solid soup. In fact, you might find that using an immersion blender after the chili cooking gives you even more of a Texas quality chili. Just buzz it a few times to make it extra broken up and mixed well. :)
Ingredients Used:
• 4 slices thick cut bacon
• 3-4 lb. beef brisket, trimmed
• Kosher salt, pepper, onion powder – for liberally sprinkling on the meat while browning.
• 2 c. white onion, small diced (one large onion)
• 5 garlic cloves, pressed through a garlic press
• 1 T paprika
• 1 T. cumin powder
• 3 ½ T Texas chili powder, such as Mexene or Gebhardt’s
• ½ t. dried thyme
• ½ t. chipotle chile powder
• ½ t. salt
• 1 quart beef broth
• ½ c. strong black coffee (you can save this from your morning coffee)
• 28 oz. can whole tomatoes, in juice
I have full step-by-step instructions on the blog and you can read lots of reviews by readers who have won chili cookoffs using this recipe, made this chili and modified the recipe, or even substituted smoked brisket.

National Champion Chili Recipe (2018)
This chili recipe is a World Champion Chili Recipe from the 2017 Terlingua Chili Cook-Off. This is the championship-winning recipe from Brent Allen. In the video, we show you how to make a competition style chili (which doesn't allow for fresh ingredients) but we do not follow the recipe to a T, so please check out Brent Allen's competition-winning chili recipe here:
All of the world champion recipes are also posted on the Chili Appreciation Society Appreciation website.
There are several different ways to make a red chili recipe and this is a competition championship chili recipe so it does not include many of those raw ingredients found in a home version of the traditional comfort food chili recipe such as onions or peppers. In competition, you can't add raw ingredients so you must use powders. If you want to try this at home -- which I recommend because it is DELICIOUS -- you can buy all of the chili powders I named online.

Award Winning Chili Recipe Ingredients
5 slices thick sliced, hardwood hickory smoked bacon
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 small yellow onion, diced
½ - 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1 10.5 oz can beef consomme (you can also use beef stock)
1 6 oz can tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 15 oz. cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1 15 oz. can pinto beans in mild or medium sauce (also called Chili Beans)
1 15 oz. can kidney beans in mild chili sauce
2 pounds ground beef
Crockpot Chili Ingredients - Spices
4 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
3 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon Lawry’s seasoned salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Award Winning Chili Recipe Directions
Prepare the vegetables for the recipe first. Roughly chop the red and green peppers and celery. Seed the jalapeno pepper(s), removing the seeds and membrane, then finely dice. Use more jalapeno for a spicier chili. Peel and dice one small yellow onion.
Cook the bacon in a large cast iron skillet, until the bacon is lightly crisp but not overdone. Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel lined plate.
Saute the vegetables in the bacon grease for about 5 minutes, until tender. Remove the vegetables from the skillet, draining as much bacon grease from the vegetables as you can. Cook the ground beef in the skillet with the bacon grease. Cook the beef one pound at a time so the meat has enough room to brown and not steam. Break the ground beef into pieces about 1 - 2 inches. When cooked through, remove from the skillet and repeat with remaining meat.
Measure all of the spices into a small bowl, and mix together.
Now it’s time to assemble all of the ingredients into the slow cooker. Mix the beef consomme or beef stock in the crockpot with the tomato paste. Add the Worcestershire sauce and spice mixture, and stir to blend. Taste the mixture and adjust spices as you like. Add the cans of tomatoes and beans, all undrained. Add the beef and sauteed vegetables. Chop or cut the bacon into about ½ inch pieces and add to the crockpot chili mixture. Cover and cook on low for about six hours. I love that this is a crockpot chili recipe! It’s so easy to put together in the morning and have delicious chili ready for dinner!
