Chili Time Again !!
Yeppers it is time to start with your chili brew...what's all involved & pic's are better..i'll start...we like brisket as the meat. I slow cook a whole brisket either the day before in the oven at 200* for about 3 to 4 hours, then cut it up minus the fat into bite size chunks, add onions,tomatoes, peppers,chili powder,garlic powder,cumin, coriander(fresh from garden) & most important BEER. Cooked most of the afternoon & served any way you like it. I like mine with a sprinkle of cheese and a salt teen cracker on the side !

The only time I make chilli is for the shop party on new years eve. Nobody calls for service so we sit around until quitting time and eat chilli dogs and play poker.
Hamburg, spaghetti sauce, onions, garlic, chilli powder, a bunch of hot stuff and one lousy can of chilli beans. what do I know about chilli I'm a Yankee. It's all gone at the end of the day. What do they know they are Yankees too!

I haven't tried it with Brisket, does it turn out tender? cuz I always heard Brisket was hard to get tender. The rest of the recipe sounds like mine but I use fresh cilantro, is that the same?

Yes it is very tender & even better the next time it's warmed up. The meat holds it's texture without falling apart too. The trick here is baking the brisket to help get the fat off other that trying to remove it while it's cold. I have used this recipe & it has been a hit every time. I grow fresh cilantro and when the plant blooms & seeds it makes a better flavor when I dry them to make coriander.
But I just love the cilantro too

crock pot cooking this makes the brisket tough IMO..It takes alittle effort to do this over the stove but the beer makes it go faster , and one in your hand helps too

Sounds like I am qualified for the job at least and will give your way a go as it is now that time of year again..
Any suggestions as to making the sweet hot chile? I seem to do hot pretty good, but the sweet hot not so much.

I make a chili w/o tomatoes because They wern't available on the trail. Beef probably wasn't either as the object of a cattle drive was to deliver beef, not the bones. Original chili was probably beans, chili powder, cumin, rattlesnake.
I do one thing a little different with beef though. It's a Chinese stir fry trick. Ever notice how tender Chinese beef can be. What they do is marinate for a short time in a little rice wine, corn starch,a little oil, and a tsp brown sugar.
The beef is cut to postage stamp size about 1/4 thick. Bring peanut oil in a wok to 350degF and flash fry the beef. Fast, seconds not minutes. Just until the color changes. Set aside and prepare the chili as you would. Add the beef at the end and just warm it up.
Super tender w/o the time.

I would suggest brown sugar but how much you'll have to experiment with that
We like it spicy so I put in a fair amount of peppers..but beer is the key in this recipe..if it gets too thin just add a touch of corn starch to thicken and just experiment to make it your own

I also buy chili powder locally because there's nothing else in in it. Most commercial powders add stuff like garlic powder.
Here in NM I'll buy about 1/4 bushel of roasted green chili in the fall and freeze them. I'll add a good hand full along with the red chili powder.
