Brisket Chili
There is always an endless debate on what constitutes chili. Beans, no beans, tomato, no tomato it's always endless argument. I'm calling this Brisket Chili and if even if you don't think its chili, I bet you would still love it! I do also have here on the website a recipe for a traditional Texas style chili that does not contain beans or Tomatos. I also have aversion with beans, tomato sauce, and macaroni which is more of a chili Mac but how I grew up eating out. All 3 are delicious!

Notes
If you don't have brisket, Â chuck roast would be a nice replacement. Â Shinerbock is my go to beer but I was out. Â If you want this thinner you can do up to 4 cups beef broth total. Â Just be careful with how much salt you add.
When you say coffee rub…can I just use espresso crystals? Or is there a specific coffee rub you prefer?
You can use instant coffee but I prefer the rub. Bearded Butchers Black is my favorite.
