Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    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.
  • tip 2
    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.
