Step 1

5 T Meat Church Texas Chili Seasoning. This is a moderate heat level, but back it down to 3-4 T for Mild. Add 1-2 T more for even spicier or add 2 T cayenne pepper.

Step 2

Prepare the chili

Step 3

Add the olive oil to a very large skillet. I prefer cast iron. Sauté the onions, garlic and adobo peppers (including all the liquid from the can). This is a lot of onion, so you may have to cook in 2 batches if you don't have a really large skillet.

Step 4

Cook for about 10 minutes until the onions are translucent. Remove from skillet and place the mixture in your slow cooker or dutch oven.

Step 5

Cook the ground meat and breakfast sausage completely in the same skillet. Drain the fat and place all of the meat in the slow cooker or dutch oven.

Step 6

If you are starting with a raw chuck roast, cut it into cubes and brown it in a cast iron skillet. Then place it in the dutch oven or slow cooker.

Step 7

If you are starting with a smoked chuck then simply cut it into small pieces and dump it into the dutch oven or slow cooker.

Step 8

Mix the chili

Step 9

By this time you already have the meat, onions, garlic and adobo peppers in your slow cooker or dutch oven. Now add the tomatoes with the juice, 1 beer and 5 T of Meat Church Texas Chili Seasoning.

Step 10

Mix thoroughly.

Step 11

Cook the chili

Step 12

This chili can cook in 3 hours. However, it is better if you can cook it for 6 - 8 hours. The are already cooked at this point, but we will simmer this chili all day to break down the meat and meld the flavors together.

Step 13

Cook the chili at 225 for for 4-5 hours uncovered stirring periodically. Cover and continue to cook for 2-3 more hours.

Step 14

Remove from the heat. Allow it to cool. Garnish and enjoy!
