Texas Style Smoked Chili

[Pat G]

We are finally having a few cold days here and there so I figured it was time to make some chili.  I used this recipe: http://www.slapyodaddybbq.com/2013/01/texas-style-smoked-chili-adapted-from-johnny-triggs-recipe/

The ingredients.


Browned the beef.


Removed the beef and cooked down the onions and garlic.


Made a roux and then added water to make a gravy.


On the WSM with some apple wood for flavor.


I used the top rack to smoke some mushrooms for a smoked mushroom dip.


After 3 hours and adding about 2 beers to it it was ready.


I had some salmon burgers that needed to be cooked so I threw those on the remaining coals.


I let the chili cool and then put it in the fridge to eat the next day.  This will be my new go to chili recipe, very good stuff.  I took some to work and shared with a couple of my buddies, they really liked it.
Thanks for looking.
