I know this is hard to believe but we had some smoked brisket left over. About 1.5 pounds of cooked brisket. So since the weather has cooled off I wanted to make some chili up at the cabin today. I did a bunch of tractor work for a couple of friends and then split a bunch of firewood, so i was hungry.

Brisket chopped
Fresh Garlic
Onions
Fire roasted tomatoes
Mrs. Irish's roasted poblano peppers
Red pepper flakes
Brown sugar
Salt
Pepper
Cumin
Chili powder
Beef broth
Chili beans
Black beans
Cornmeal to thicken

Started chopping...

We added the meat, and vegetables and seasonings to the pot with a little beef broth and let all that simmer for about 30 minutes before adding the tomatoes and beans and then let it all cook together for about an hour or so...

We served it with some cheese and cornbread... The smokiness of the beef and the poblano peppers really made it different and more tasty than regular chili that we have made.
