This Mexican Style Chili is a robust, deeply flavorful stew that transforms tough cuts of beef brisket into fork-tender morsels through a long, slow simmer. By combining beef with lean ground pork, you achieve a complex texture and richer mouthfeel than standard chili recipes. The blend of chili powder, cumin, and a splash of beer creates a savory, slightly earthy sauce that clings beautifully to the meat. It’s perfect for cold nights, potlucks, or meal-prepping lunches that taste even better the next day. Serve it hot with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and a side of crusty bread or over rice for a truly satisfying meal.

Description

This Mexican Style Chili is a robust, deeply flavorful stew that transforms tough cuts of beef brisket into fork-tender morsels through a long, slow simmer. By combining beef with lean ground pork, you achieve a complex texture and richer mouthfeel than standard chili recipes. The blend of chili powder, cumin, and a splash of beer creates a savory, slightly earthy sauce that clings beautifully to the meat. It&# 226;ÂÂs perfect for cold nights, potlucks, or meal-prepping lunches that taste even better the next day. Serve it hot with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and a side of crusty bread or over rice for a truly satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the Wesson oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed kettle over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic cloves; sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Increase heat to high; add the cubed beef brisket and ground pork to the pot.
  4. Brown the meats on all sides, breaking up the pork with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink.
  5. Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, dry mustard, brown sugar, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  6. Pour in the Budweiser beer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  7. Add the tomato sauce, diced green chilies, beef bouillon cube, and water.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  9. Cover the pot and let the chili simmer gently for 3 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
  10. Check for tenderness; the brisket should be fork-tender and the sauce thickened.
  11. Adjust salt and pepper to taste before serving hot.
