Best Chili Ever

I love chili. It’s good for the soul, if you have one. Note: I am a spicy wuss. On a scale to 1 to 10, 10 being the hottest, I constantly believe something is a 9, everyone else says a 3. Take that for what it’s worth. This chili had plenty of heat, I did not add hot sauce or use both jalapenos, but I did use the spicy sausage!

What Chili is Best?

In search for a good chili, I came across 2 videos seen below. I did a combination of both.

After Watching the Videos

I did a combination of the videos.

I smoked a 5 pound roast for a good 6 hours.

Now, i have never charred vegetables, I have always grilled them, but following the video, I gave the vegetables a good charring.

I grilled the pound of sausage in a dutch oven, then added 4 cans of diced tomatoes.

I chopped the vegetables, added the beef broth, stirred in about 3 chipotle peppers (with sauce) and set it in the Big Green Egg on about 300 degrees to simmer.

After simmering for 2 hours, I added two cans of black beans and one can of pinto. I also cubed the roast and mixed it in at this time. I let is all simmer for another 2 hours. Added alitte sour cream and fresh avocado. Best chili ever.
