As a topping I recommend: Take 200g creme fraîche or sour cream, mix it with the juice of one lime and the zest of said lime (I use a microplane to zest the line), one big or two small crushed cloves of garlic, salt it to taste and ideally let it rest in the fridge over night. I love it on chili but it also accompanies fish quite nicely.

I've always made mine the day before I want to serve it. Get everything together low on the stove for a couple hours, then off the heat with the lid off to start to cool, then in the fridge overnight. Back on the stove on low in the morning, eat in the evening. Every flavor is saturated through every bean (if I put them in), veggie, and bit of meat. It just gets better the longer it's leftover :)

My second time making this recipe. I used a big leftover of braised beef roast, and browned it your way since it seemed so important for flavor. Yes! Two , or three types of beans are not too many. The achieved depth of flavor, color, and complexity are wonderful. Hot whole-wheat pitas are what was available, with a mixed green salad heavy on the arugula. Very cold brown ale. Wonderful dinner recipe.

Great little recipe and video! This has been added to my favorites folder for recipes! Will make!

I’m a chili master and I still might make this. There are some very good ideas here and I’ll never stop improving. Incidentally, I like the addition of beans. Anyone who claims “authentic” Texas chili shouldn’t have beans ignores the fact that beans were often served as a side with early chili recipes, but also that they were an economical and easy “stretcher” of chili recipes.

Awesome thank you!

This is so incredibly close to my chili which is a modified family recipe even down to the peppers used, though the amount of each changes depending on what we can find. Main difference is I don't use baking cocoa powder. I use Abuelita's Mexican hot chocolate tablets. I use two of them per batch and grind them up into a powder before tossing them in. I also use slightly more brown sugar by about a tablespoon. I also make my own red pepper flakes using the same dried pepper blend you toasted sometimes with some sichuan chiles added in. It ends up being an awesome pepper flake blend to toss on mexican or asian themed dishes which are made a lot in this house due to my partner being mexican and we equally share a love for asian foods. It's great on pizza too.

Hey Bri, made this chilli a few times now and it's by far the best chilli I've ever had. Broiled beef is really beefy and the cocoa, chilli, spice mix makes for a really interesting and intense sauce. The seasoning then lifts it to another level. Had other chillies since making this and nothing can complete. Nice one!

So I was looking up chilli recipes and found this video and your channel. Liked, subscribed and all notifications on. Can't wait to watch more

Hats off to you, Bri! This is indeed a DOPE chili! So many great things about this recipe...but making that chili base is a total game changer! I made 2 different chilis...one with the flavy ground short ribs, and one with a trumped up vege for a couple of non-meat-eaters in the fam. Both of them bangers! Keep it up, bro!

I made this tonight and I’m so happy I tried it! I usually really don’t like chili, mostly because I don’t like the texture of the beans but also because most of the “chilies” I’ve tasted have been bland and watery. Pressure cooking the beans completely changed the texture for me, and this chili is thick and glossy and flavourful. I’m so happy to find chili I like!

This looks amazing. Can’t get with beans in chili (only because I don’t like them, not because I’m a chili snob or anything). But I’ve got to try making chili paste from chilis instead of using chili powder. Love cocoa in chili - adds a deep bitter savory note. So many good ideas here.

I made this mean chili (long version) and it was awesome! One caution is to watch the chiles as they toast in the hot oven. I burned the first batch badly so lowered the temperature, decreased the time a bit and the second batch was perfect.

Brian's recipe definitely looks to be on point, can't wait to try it. As far as brisket chili goes, my best friend makes one in which he smokes the brisket with a chili spice rub. He roasts dried chilis like Brian did, but instead of blending them with beef stock he grinds them and mixes them with the likes of granulated garlic, paprika, and such. He uses that for his brisket rub. He also uses dark chocolate, which brings a ton of flavor. Still remember the first time I tried it, you could tell there some depth of flavor there, but I couldn't put my finger on it as chocolate.

Just made it. Made a few changes but it was awesome. Thanks for the recipe.

Made this last night. Wow. It was deeply dark brown, w/ an incredible depth of flavor. I kept 2 lbs of the chuck in chunks and had one lb of it ground up. It filled the house w/ the most amazing chili aroma. It was epic, and we are so glad we have a ton of leftovers.

I've tried I dunno how many different kinds of broth. I cannot find one that actually has a beefy flavor. All the store-bought brands seem to be pretty much just water and salt now. I reduced 64 oz of famous broth down to the color most videos use for broth, a nice dark brown, and it had a nasty taste to it. I've converted to 'better than bullion'!! Much better overall flavor.

You forgot to give him shit for using canned tomatoes, too. 🙄🤡

Informative vid. Will try it. Thanks.

I really enjoy your videos. You have such a great, friendly personality. Thanks for the recipe and techniques. If I had that blender I would make that purée! That is a game changer.

Really glad I found your channel. This is the kind if no-fuss cooking I really enjoy, and I will make this chili in my wood fired oven. Keep up the good work!

No fuss? What video did you watch?

@@sanityd1 Well, Oxford Languages defines "fuss" as: "a display of unnecessary or excessive excitement, activity, or interest". What I mean by "no-fuss cooking" is exactly what Brian does so incredibly well, and that is to essentially boil down all the steps/components necessary to create great dishes. If your skill level in the kitchen is somewhat moderate, I understand that they can still overwhelm you, but my point is that considering the results it doesn't really get better or easier than this. Hope this clarifies things!

Hey Brian, big fan of your videos! I've made three of your recipes, the yeasted waffle, the fried chicken sandwich (sans buns) and now a bit of a combo between this chili and your Texas chili. I made if for a chili cook off and I placed last, sadly I feel their tastes were better suited to more basic chili's, because I felt mine was the clear winner!!! Just venting my frustration!!!

Some people have trained their taste buds off of fast food and processed crap and it shows.

Briaaaaaaaan. I just made this my guy. Best chili ever. IMO the key that makes this so stupid fire dumb delicious is that 45 minutes uncovered. That caramelized flavor is what puts it over the top. Thanks my g.

the chocolate addition is such a clever idea!
