Slow Cooker Brisket Chilli (Chili)

This is just what you need if you are looking for a warming dish for autumn and winter. Slow cooked brisket, tender and falling to shreds, mixes with yellow chillies, amarillo chilli sauce and taco beans to create slow cooker brisket chilli with delicious flavours reminiscent of South America.

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 because just so tender. Brisket is a great joint for long slow cooker which helps that tough piece of meat tenderise.

Chilli con carne (or chili) made from shredded brisket instead of minced beef (ground beef) 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.

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.

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.

Ready to serve, the brisket has mingled with the chilli and taco beans 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!
