Who's ready for chili season!?
If I was to add the beans what type of adjustments if any would you make , like more or less of the liquids I would guess.
Thanks for all your videos
When adding the beer, will the alcohol cook off?
What size Dutch oven you have there?
Guess I’m gonna need to make this this weekend.
I’ve got to try this recipe. I think I’ll smoke the meat a little longer before placing over the top of the pot, to reduce the amount of grease in the pot.
What size is your Dutch oven?
Chili without beans isn’t chili IMHO but this looks like a great recipe especially with beans 😁
Looking forward to making this soon!!
Looks delicious,
My chilli is better than yours, and I put Beans in it, 😈
HAHAHA… tin foil so you didn't get the counter dirty.. Yeah I've used that trick and it's not the counter I'm worried about it's the wife when her enameled cast iron pot bottom gets black greasy smoker film on it that I'm avoiding. LOL
Thank you for sharing this helps me keep my keto diet!
Can I get a little clarity? You said bell pepper the first time, then said jalapeño when talking about de-seeding and the text said onion and bell pepper.
That looks absolutely amazing can’t imagine how much better it would be adding chili beans to make it a chili 😂
Just made this chili and it is GREAT !!! Thanks
I woke up yesterday morning, went outside to take a wee wee and realized its chili season now!
so many mistakes
Looks good and I'm going to try it soon. Could I roughly half the ingredient amounts if I only use two pounds of meat/sausage?
I'm doing mine on our Pit Boss today! I'm using ground beef and chorizo! Can't wait!!!
Breakfast sausage in chili yeah I’m gonna try that. Your rib method you did on Malcom’s channel is still the only way I cook ribs. I’m a ridiculously harsh critic of my own bbq, and most channels techniques are hit or miss. You’re the most reliable cook I’ve come across. Thanks!!
