Preparation

  • In a large skillet, sear the brisket chunks on all sides over medium-high heat until browned. Transfer to the slow cooker.
  • In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, then add to the slow cooker.

Cooking

  • Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily shredded.
  • Once cooked, shred the brisket in the chili with two forks and stir to combine.

Notes

Serve with your choice of toppings like cilantro, sour cream, cheese, or avocado. It’s great with cornbread, rice, or tortilla chips. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months. Adjust spices to fit taste, and for a spicier kick, add jalapeños or cayenne pepper.
