Texas Chili

Finally, the famous Meat Church Texas Chili recipe! This hearty, meaty chili will fill up the hungriest of appetites. This recipe makes a big ole batch. We are going with 4 lbs of meat! 3 lbs of ground meat and 1 lb of chuck roast (smoked). I recommend 2 lbs of hamburger meat, 1 lb of of hot pork breakfast sausage. I love it with venison instead of beef as well. Any combo of meats works but having plenty of ground meat plus some large chunky meat that will break down and get super tender during a 6-8 hour cook is the best. HEARTY!

This recipe will require a large dutch oven or slow cooker. We use a 7 QT Lodge Dutch oven in this video.

This recipe It has a medium spiciness level. You can adjust that by adding more or less chili seasoning.

Beans or No Beans?
It's no secret here at the Meat Church we are Team Meat. You won't find beans in our chili recipe. However, we are equal opportunity here and can promise you that this seasoning will enhance the flavor of whatever beans you want to add to your chili.

Just won a chili cook-off with this recipe! Only variation was I used rotel instead of diced tomatoes and I smoked the chuck roast over the pot of everything else to catch drippings. Let it sit a day in fridge and cooked an additional 6 hrs in crock pot before judging. Thank you for the delicious recipe!

If you’ll notice, he had all the name brand tomatoes as a prop but he put HEB store brand tomatoes in the pot. HEB is known for the quality of their store brand products. A lot of times I prefer them over the others. Work moved me from Texas to South Carolina and boy do I miss my HEB, I’m talking about tears in my eyes miss HEB. That whole chuck roast thing was ingenious as well. Good job Mr. Matt “Meat Church” Pittmasterman!!!

Bought a 7 quart Lodge Dutch oven like Matt used and made a batch of Texas exactly as shown for the boys at deer camp and it was a huge success.

I then made it in a neighborhood chili cook off and took 1st place out of 25 with it. Great recipe and cooking in a Dutch oven makes a huge difference in simmering all day without scorching the bottom. Thanks Matt!

Won my church chili contest with this recipe tonight! I added a can of beans and diced red pepper charred on the smoker. Used venison I harvested three days ago. Thanks for all the great content!

That beer pour was a straight up boss move. It was a show of dominance over the chili.

Cooked this lask week for a cook off at work. Turned out great. First place!! Truly award winning chili

[williamwalker]

I got worried when you grabbed the can of beans, and then audibly cheered when you tossed it. Texas ftw!

Wonderfully well played with the 2 beers.. Just put this on the smoker to have ready for the family tomorrow.. Can't wait...

[nathanmay]

I have to say that I make this a few times a year and I never have any leftovers. Awesome simple recipe and the smoke adds a whole new element to

[davidcrenshaw]

“My recipe calls for two beers”. Classic!! 😂

[peternardini]

One of my favorite recipes ever! I like to use a Texas beef sausage and brisket to go with the ground beef. I’ll also grill the onions along with a carrot, one red bell pepper, and 2 poblano peppers for you know…health. I either cook the meat in salsa matcha or add some apple cider hot sauce for heat and add a bit of cooking chocolate to the chili too for depth of flavor.

Making this for superbowl Sunday!! Meat Church rubs rock!! I did a pork tenderloin tonight with the bacon honey rub I got with this chili mix!! Tasty!!

[hector]

I've watched this video probably ten 10 times this in the last week. I'm going to make this chili for a college football party on Saturday (Go Bucks!). Can't wait to make it! Smoking the chuck roast (seasoned with Holy Cow) tomorrow. I already know this is going to be a hit! I love the recipes from scratch, but also appreciate the easy recipes like this. Thanks for the variety! Keep up the good work!

Fed this to my church tonight. Big win. Flavorful with a little kick.
