Texas-Style Chili with Brisket
Rating
Texas chili is purely beef-driven: no beans allowed. This version boasts smoky, complex, deep flavor from a mix of dried chiles and chili powders. Perfect for a slow-simmered Sunday meal, the leftovers can be used as a meaty nacho layer, or hearty baked potato topper.
