I would also like to point out that this chili recipe contains beans. I know the chili purists will not like this, but it helps make this chili recipe easy and good.
Whatever you do for any kind of cooking, make sure you have fresh, good quality ingredients. Nothing spoils a good recipe faster than trying to save a buck on cheap, poor quality ingredients.
Let's get started.
The first thing to remember is that all the amounts are approximate. I might list three tablespoons of something but that's just a suggestion. Use more or less of whatever it is until you find what you like.
When the meat is starting to cook and is breaking apart, add the chopped onion and stir it into the meat. Now add the powdered ingredients and stir them all in. Stir this a few times while it's cooking.
When the meat is almost done, add the beans. Rinse the cans with a little water to get all of the sauce out of the cans.
At this point your chili should be slightly watery. If it's not, add a little more water (or beer). Let this simmer for about 20 minutes or so, stirring occasionally.
After about 20 minutes, taste it! If you think it needs more flavor, add more seasoning, like chili powder. The most common reason I've seen for having a flavorless batch of chili is not enough chili powder. So if it's bland at this point, add some more. DO NOT BE AFRAID!
Let this cook for about an hour and a half, stirring and tasting occasionally.
It can be ready to eat any time after the meat is cooked but gets better after about an hour or so. And it is better still the next day.
Ingredients:
Sprinkle half of the soup mix in bottom of 9x13-inch baking pan. Lay brisket in pan and sprinkle remaining soup mix evenly over meat. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake at 350°F 2-1/2 hours. In medium bowl, combine honey with remaining ingredients. Uncover pan and spoon off fat. Spread fruit mixture over meat. Cover pan with foil and return to oven. Cook until meat is very tender when pierced with fork (about 1 to 1-1/2 hours). Slice brisket across grain and serve with fruit and juices. Steamed brown rice or buttered noodles makes a good accompaniment.
Tips
Honey and dried fruits make for a succulent roast.
Note: Honey should not be fed to infants under one year of age. Honey is a safe and wholesome food for children and adults.
