Texas Beef Brisket Chili image

A cold-weather favorite, this all-beef, no-bean chili gets added appeal from a seasonal ingredient: butternut squash. For best results, make the chili at least one day ahead so that the flavors have time to meld.

Chili:
6 large dried ancho chiles*
6 ounces bacon, diced
1 1/4 pounds onions, chopped (about 4 cups)
1 5-pound flat-cut (also called first-cut) beef brisket, cut into 2 1/2- to 3-inch cubes
Coarse kosher salt
6 large garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 10-ounce cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes with green chiles (1 3/4 cups)
1 12-ounce bottle Mexican beer
1 7-ounce can diced roasted green chiles
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro stems
4 cups 1 1/2- to 2-inch chunks seeded peeled butternut squash (from 3 1/2-pound squash)
Garnishes:
Fresh cilantro leaves
1 Red onion
Diced avocado
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Warm corn and/or flour tortillas

Steps:

  • For chili:
  • Place chiles in medium bowl. Pour enough boiling water over to cover. Soak until chiles soften, at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Sauté bacon in heavy large oven-proof pot over medium-high heat until beginning to brown. Add onions. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle beef all over with coarse salt and pepper. Add to pot; stir to coat. Set aside.
  • Drain chiles, reserving soaking liquid. Place chiles in blender. Add 1 cup soaking liquid, garlic, chili powder, cumin seeds, oregano, coriander, and 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt; blend to puree, adding more soaking liquid by 1/4 cupfuls if very thick. Pour puree over brisket in pot. Add tomatoes with juices, beer, green chiles, and cilantro stems. Stir to coat evenly.
  • Bring chili to simmer. Cover and place in oven. Cook 2 hours. Uncover and cook until beef is almost tender, about 1 hour. Add squash; stir to coat. Roast uncovered until beef and squash are tender, adding more soaking liquid if needed to keep meat covered, about 45 minutes longer. Season chili to taste with salt and pepper. Tilt pot and spoon off any fat from surface of sauce. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cool 1 hour. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled.

I'm not a big fan of chili, but this one was really good. The beef brisket was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful without being too spicy.

This is the best chili I've ever had! The beef brisket was so tender and the flavors were amazing. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

I found this chili to be a bit bland. It needed more seasoning, and I would have liked to see more vegetables in it.

This chili is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chipotle peppers if you don't like spicy food.

I've made this chili several times now and it's always a hit. I like to add a little bit of dark chocolate to the pot, which gives it a rich, complex flavor.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover beef brisket. It's easy to make and packed with flavor. I love the smoky flavor from the chipotle peppers.

This chili is a game-changer! It's got the perfect balance of flavors, with a nice smoky heat that builds gradually. The beef brisket is melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the vegetables add a nice crunch and sweetness. I'll definitely be making this aga
