I couldn’t believe how much leftover beef brisket we had left, so I took to Pinterest to find inspiration on what to do with it! Beef brisket chili was a common suggestion from the guys that night, so I was excited to find a recipe from Vindulge to tweak for my guests!

Slow Cooker Beef Brisket Chili Ingredients:

• Red Bell Pepper- I cut my chunks large so the kids could pick out the red peppers; you can also use yellow pepper, green pepper, or orange peppers in this recipe.
• Smoked Beef Brisket
• Minced Garlic
• Cumin
• Bacon– You can cook the bacon crunchy or juicy bacon into this chili. It comes down to a personal choice. It will cook some as the crockpot cooks.
• Chipotle Chili Seasoning
• Paprika
• Black Beans  
• Kidney Beans  
• Chili Powder
• Corn 
• Beer– Any brand of beer that you like in this. My favorites include pale Mexican lagers like Corona Or Pacifico beer.

How TO Make Slow Cooker Beef Brisket Chili:

Prepare your bacon. Because I knew the bacon would cook more in the slow cooker, I put the strips of bacon in the oven for 12 minutes and cut those into chunks. We don’t care for crispy bacon; we love it chewy.

Spray your slow cooker with a nonstick spray, or line with a slow cooker liner, I did use my 8-quart Crock Pot to make our chili.

Crockpot LinersNonstick Sprays

Chop up your beef brisket, bacon, onion, and red pepper (I used the redder meat pieces of the leftover beef brisket) and throw them into the slow cooker. If you include chunks of the fat of the brisket, it will add to the flavor of the chili.

Put the garlic and seasonings into the slow cooker’s contents.

Use a strainer to strain the beans and corn.

Rinse the beans and corn well, and add into the slow cooker. If your beans have extra seasonings and juice, you don’t need to rinse them. Rinsing the beans removes extra starch and sodium from the beans.

Use a bottle opener to open two bottles of beer and pour those into the slow cooker.

Pour the beer slowly; mine bubbled up quite a bit.

Put the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and green chilis into the slow cooker.

Give a slow stir to mix things up, and set the slow cooker on low for 4 to 6 hours.

The flavor of this chili is fantastic!! I served this with some macaroni, cheese, and cornbread … and everyone returned for seconds!

My favorite part is that you can tweak this to have more of a kick if you want or cut back on different spices to have less of a kick. I threw some Mexican shredded cheese onto my chili and loved it. The possibilities are endless.

What is your favorite meal to make with leftover beef brisket?? We will be smoking beef brisket again, so I need some inspiration!!
