Directions
- 1Add the olive oil to a very large skillet, preferably cast iron.
- 2Sauté the onions, garlic and adobo peppers (including all the liquid from the can) for about 10 minutes until the onions are translucent. You may have to cook in 2 batches if you don't have a really large skillet.
- 3Remove the sautéed mixture from the skillet and place it in your slow cooker or dutch oven.
- 4Cook the ground meat and breakfast sausage completely in the same skillet.
- 5Drain the fat from the cooked meat and place all of the meat in the slow cooker or dutch oven.
- 6If using a raw chuck roast, cut it into cubes and brown it in a cast iron skillet, then place it in the dutch oven or slow cooker.
- 7If using smoked chuck, simply cut it into small pieces and dump it into the dutch oven or slow cooker.
- 8Add the tomatoes with the juice, 1 beer, and 5 T of Meat Church Texas Chili Seasoning to the slow cooker or dutch oven with the meat, onions, garlic, and adobo peppers.
- 9Mix thoroughly.
- 10Cook the chili on low for 6 - 8 hours in a slow cooker, stirring periodically.
- 11If using a smoker, cook the chili at 225 degrees for 4-5 hours uncovered, stirring periodically.
- 12Cover and continue to cook for 2-3 more hours in the smoker.
- 13Remove from the heat.
- 14Allow it to cool.
- 15Garnish with shredded cheese, sliced fresh jalapeños, and diced white onions, then enjoy!

Tips
- This recipe makes a big ole batch of chili.
- 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.
- If you want to try this recipe with venison, but don't hunt, Maui Nui Venison sell/ship amazing Axis deer meat, which is one of the cleanest tasting game meats and nutrient dense!
- This recipe has a medium spiciness level; you can adjust that by adding more or less chili seasoning.
- Traditional Texas Red Chili doesn't contain beans, but this seasoning will enhance the flavor of whatever beans you want to add to your chili. Just back off 1 lb of the ground meat if you plan to include some beans of your choice.
