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.

Mexican RED CHILE SAUCE Recipe for Tamales, Enchiladas, Asado, Chili con Carne & More
This red chile sauce has been one of my most requested recipes and I'm sharing with you my version of our family recipe.
Getcha some APC BBQ Rubs Here:
This red chile sauce is so versatile, so delicious, and so easy to make. This sauce is awesome because at its base, it can be used on so many different dishes, from enchiladas to tamales to menudo and so much more. All you got to do is start with this base, and then you can tweak it in any direction, probably as many different sauces as there are chilies, and that's not even taking into account that every single house is going to do it a little bit different.
So whether you're in Texas, New Mexico, Mexico, or along the frontera or anywhere in the USA, remember my advice, what Arnie takes always says, ain't no right way, ain't no wrong way to make chili sauce, and don't let nobody tell you you can't do it the way you like it.
Maybe what your grandma taught your mom, what my grandma taught my mom and my mom taught me may not be exactly the same, even if they're similar, but of course, my grandma's is better than yours. Just kidding! Don't get mad!
Let me just cover real quickly the couple of the different chiles I have. Now, the package here says cascabel or guajillo. It doesn't mean they're the same thing because they're not, but it means you might get one or the other in this package or possibly both. We also have some ancho chile, and we also have some pasilla chile. And I also have some chile de arbol down here. We use that one in our red chili sauce just to give it a little hint of heat and a little more complex flavor.
All right, so in the recipe we're going to use 15 guajillo/cascabel chiles, a couple of ancho chiles, and probably about four or five of the chile de arbol, a whole onion, and six cloves of garlic. All right, friend, let's get started and make this amazing red chili sauce.
