Leftover brisket chili
A leftover brisket chili is a snap to make. Chop up an onion, put a little fat in a large pot and cook the onion in it until it’s tender. Next, drop in the brisket, some diced tomatoes and some chili seasoning.
You can add a can or two of beans if you like beans in your chili. I personally think it’s not chili without them. Then cook and stir until everything is combined and the mixture is at a simmer.
Add a cup or two of beef stock and cook it low and slow until the flavors meld together.
