My fiancé doesn't like beans so I came up with this:
1.5-2lbs. Chuck Roast (smoke the day before and dice into cubes)
1lb. Ground Sirloin (cook in skillet with salt and pepper)
2 Yellow onions sautéed
2 chipotle peppers in adobo finely chopped (you can do less or replace with a sautéed poblano)
1 lager beer (12oz of Modelo, Budweiser or similar)
1 14.5 oz can of fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 28 oz can stewed tomatoes
2 oz Tomato Paste
1 oz Worcestershire sauce
Season to taste with salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin and smoked chipotle chili powder.
Combine and put either on a pellet smoker or in the oven at 250 for 6-7 hours, stirring every hour. Cooking uncovered on a pellet smoker will make the chili smokier to the taste.

This sounds really good and is kind of in line with what I was thinking. Something with a little bit of smoke flavor to replace the missing heat that I would usually have in my chili.

I’m glad to see someone else used Goldfish crackers in their chili.

We were supposed to have chili last night for dinner but;
Wife “I can’t make chili, we don’t have cumin.”
Me “Yes we do.”
Her smugly “No……we don’t. I’ve looked through the entire spice cabinet and no we don’t.”
Me remembering the large cumin container I bought a few weeks ago to make jambalaya, “Yes we do.”
Her “I’ve looked, no we don’t and we need to organize this better!”
I walk past her, stick my hand in the cabinet without looking and pull out the cumin “See. We have cumin.”
Her “………………well I’m making tacos”

So we had tacos.

I want to try doing some Texas-style chili this year. I've had these recipes bookmarked for months:

I ate at Texas Chili Parlor in Austin this year, it was a brisket chili. Very nice.

b00sted have you used chuck? I've always used ground beef except the last time when I used taco meat from a local market. I've talked to the butchers and the taco meat is cuttings as you can imagine. Some of my fam thought the fatty bits were a little too chewy. Having never used chuck before I'm curious how many hours it needs to cook.

I've only ever done ground beef so far. I'd imagine with chuck or any other larger chunks of meat, you just really need to simmer it for a few extra hours (just like doing a crock pot roast) to get the connective tissues to break down.

Yeah I want to try it with chuck at some point, let me know if you do.
