Total time: 1 h 10 min
Yield: 6 servings
Cuisine: barbecue
Ingredients: 3 slices bacon, diced; 1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups); 1 red bell pepper, chopped; 3 cloves garlic, finely diced; 3 cups leftover smoked beef brisket, cut up into 1-inch cubes; 3 tablespoons chili powder*; 1 tablespoon cumin; ½ tablespoon canned chipotle in adobo sauce**; ½ tablespoon smoked paprika; 1 12 oz bottle beer; ¼ cup coffee, ((cold leftover coffee from your morning pot)); 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes; 1 15 oz can tomato sauce; ½ can black beans, drained and rinsed (used a standard 15 oz can); ½ can kidney beans, drained and rinsed (used a standard 15 oz can); ½ can corn, drained and rinsed (used a standard 15 oz can) ((may also use 1 cup of grilled corn)); 1 4 oz can diced green chili

1

In a large pot over medium heat, sauté bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve for later. If there is excess bacon grease remove it, otherwise cook the onions in it.

2

Add onions and cook until soft (about 5 minutes). Add bell pepper and garlic; cook 1 additional minute to soften.

3

Add the leftover cubed brisket and all dry seasonings. Let cook 1 minute stirring often. Get those seasonings integrated!

4

Add beer and allow it to deglaze the pan and cook off the alcohol (about 1-2 minutes). Then add chipotle, coffee, tomatoes, beans, corn, green chili, and the reserved bacon.

5

Bring to a low simmer, cover, and cook for a minimum of 30 minutes. The longer it cooks the more integrated and concentrated the flavors get. My recommendation is at least an hour (or better yet two) for a nice rich chili. If the stew starts to get too thick, you can add water ½ cup at a time to thin it out.
