Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil

  • 4 to 4 1/2 pounds fresh beef brisket (not corned beef), trimmed of fat and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic

  • 2 large yellow, red or green bell peppers, cut into 2 1/2-inch strips
  • Shredded Cheddar cheese, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oil in 4-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook onions in oil 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.
  • 2
    Stir in beef, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook about 13 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is lightly browned; drain. Place beef mixture in 6-quart slow cooker. Stir in chilies, cumin and broth.
  • 3
    Cover and cook on Low heat setting 8 to 9 hours.
  • 4
    Stir in bell peppers. Increase heat setting to High. Cover and cook 10 to 12 minutes or until bell peppers are hot. Serve with cheese.

  • Beef brisket is a cut of beef taken from the breast section under the first five ribs. It requires long, slow, moist cooking, making it the perfect choice for this slow-cooker brisket chili.
  • Wondering about the Ancho chiles called for in this brisket chili recipe? Ancho chiles are dried poblano chile peppers. They have a rich, slightly sweet taste and can be mild to pungent in flavor but are not excessively hot.
