INSTRUCTIONS
* - more if you live around vampires. Do not use garlic powder
** You can use regular grind, but the course grind adds a better
flavor
*** (Wimps may delete the red pepper altogether, if desired. Chili
heads can add more.)
**** You want it in chunks, not something that will disappear when
you cook it.
***** I use Sam Adams Boston Ale. Do _not_ use the 99% water American
beer. Use one bottle in the pot, drink the other.
****** or several fresh ones from the garden. Don't use the ones from
the store. They either need to be fresh or canned. Don't know why,
but it makes a difference in taste.
Scrape some of the fat off the brisket into a large pot or dutch
oven. Heat it. Add the onions and garlic. Sauté until limp. Add all
the liquids and spices and bring to a simmer. Cut the brisket into
eating size chunks. 1 lb or so for Texans, smaller for women and
others (g). (You can tell I'm a Texan.) Throw in the ribs if you have
any - don't bother to cut them into individual pieces.
Simmer for at least one hour. I don't like to use thickeners, so if
you do, you are on your own for amounts. If desired, you may serve
pinto beans as a side dish or put the chili over tamales. Also good
served over rice. Great stuff for breakfast. Build a 3 layer dish -
hash browns, fried eggs, then reheated chili.
