Bring smokehouse flavors to your chili with this meaty, sweet, smoky recipe
Chili simmering on the stove or silently bubbling in a slow cooker makes for the perfect autumn or winter meal, and chili is one of those meals that seems to taste even better as leftovers the next day. It’s even a great dish to impress at the tailgate or at-home on game day.
This recipe sweet and smoky chili came from pitmaster Lewis Donald, owner of Sweet Lew’s BBQ in Charlotte, North Carolina. He even entered it in a chili cook-off that brought professional and amateur chefs from around the city together to vie for the top spot.
His recipe mixes smoked brisket, plump pinto beans and barbecue sauce for a chili that’s sure to taste like your favorite BBQ joint.
