Mexican Style Chili

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