Dallas Chili
Description
This hearty Dallas-style chili features coarse-ground beef brisket simmered for over 10 hours with a robust blend of chiles, spices, and unsweetened chocolate. The long cooking time allows the flavors to meld into a deep, savory, and satisfying main dish. Perfect for feeding a crowd or enjoying a rich, traditional American meal.Directions
