    Chilli with brisket

    This brisket chilli is midly spiced with a lovely mellow flavour and great for serving with rice and veggies or in wraps with shredded cheese!

    We love brisket of beef especially slow cooked as it becomes just so tender when cooked slowly.

    Brisket is a great joint for long slow cooking as it helps that tough piece of meat tenderise beautifully.

    Chilli con carne (or chili if you are in the USA) made from shredded brisket instead of minced beef (known as ground beef in the USA) is a great way to change up that family favourite dish which is often on the weekly meal plan.

    My version of brisket chilli is less saucy than a beef mince version but still with loads of flavour as it infuses into the meat during the long slow cook.

    Yellow chillis

    Amarillo (meaning yellow in Spanish) chillies are hot but in this recipe I use jarred pickled yellow chillies which are much milder due to the pickling.

    You can use fresh yellow chillies or the usual red chillies if you want a hotter chilli.

    The yellow chilli sauce is hot though, check the heat and adjust the amount as needed to suit your tastes.

    Ingredients

    Grab what you will need from the shop, this recipe is so simple! Get the quantities from the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

    • beef brisket – this cut of beef is ideal for slow cooking, the long cooking time tenderises the meat really well.
    • beef stock cube – to add a rich beef flavour.
    • amarillo chilli sauce (I use Encona) – a little of this yellow chilli sauce enhances the flavour of this dish.
    • mild pickled yellow chillies – these add a touch of colour and that pickle flavour.
    • can of taco beans in spicy tomato sauce – using beans in this brisket chilli makes the meat go further, the spicy sauce adds to the dish.
    • tomato puree – this thick tomato sauce thickens the sauce as well as adding the tomato flavour.

    How to make slow cooker brisket chilli

    Brown the brisket on all sides before placing in the slow cooker.

    Cook on low all day.

    Once tender, shred the meat then continue to cook with the yellow chillis and beans to make it even more tender and let the flavours mix and mellow.

    Ready to serve, the brisket has mingled with the chilli and taco bean flavours, and the final dish is full of flavour!

    Serve it with rice and sour cream. Leftovers are excellent on a baked potato, in tacos or topping a pizza!
