Leftover Slow Cooker Beef Brisket Chili Recipe

This Slow Cooker Beef Brisket Chili Recipe is the perfect way to use leftover smoked brisket. I have been so excited that the sun is finally out in the Northwest!! We have been having get-togethers with friends and I am loving how much fun it is to try out different meats!! We recently had smoked beef brisket from the smoker and had so much leftover!!  (I have included affiliate links to products I love. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.) 

I couldn’t believe how much leftover beef brisket we had left so I took to Pinterest to find some 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!  Be sure to check out this -> Crockpot Brisket Stew as well!

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. I used my 8-quart Crock Pot to make our chili.

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.

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

Use a strainer to strain the beans and corn. Rinse them well. Add the beans and corn into the slow cooker.

Use a bottle opener to open two bottles of beer and pour those into the slow cooker. Pour 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 amazing!! I served this with some macaroni and cheese and cornbread … and everyone went back for seconds! My favorite part is, you can tweak this to have more of a kick if you want or you can cut back on different spices to have less of a kick to it. I personally threw some Mexican shredded cheese on to 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!!
