Ingredients

4 cups Leftover Smoked Brisket chopped
1 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Onion diced small
1 Green Pepper diced small
1 Jalapeno seeds removed, minced
2 cloves Garlic minced
1 tbsp. Cocoa Powder
3 tbsp Coffee
1 packet Chili Seasoning Mix
1 14.5 oz Fire Roasted Tomatoes
1 15.5 oz White Beans do not drain
1 15.5 oz Kidney Beans do not drain

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder and the coffee. Whisk to combine and set aside (this adds depth to the chili, but doesn't make it taste like coffee or chocolate).
In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add the olive.
Add in the onion and peppers and sauté for 5-6 minutes, then mix in the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes.
To the cooked veggies, add in half the chili seasoning and mix well for 1-2 minutes. Then add in the coffee and cocoa powder mixture and combine it all together into the veggie mixture.
Next, add in the whole can of fire roasted tomatoes and both cans of beans (with the liquid included).
Add in the remaining seasoning left in the chili packet and stir everything together until combined.
Allow the mixture to cook together for about 10-15 minutes over medium low heat before adding in the chopped up brisket pieces.
The chili is cooked once everything is heated through, but if you prefer it to be slightly thicker you can blend about 1.5-2 cups of the chili mix and then fold it back into the chili for a more cohesive texture (you can also immersion blend for a few pulses with the same effect to thicken everything).
The chili is ready to eat right away with your favorite toppings. Store leftovers in an airtight container and enjoy for 3-5 days.

Notes

This chili definitely gets better over time as the flavors develop. Make it ahead of time before serving for better results!
