Mesquite Smoked Brisket Chile
Mesquite Smoked Brisket, there’s nothing like it except maybe adding it into Tex-Mex chile.
My husband, being from the South was craving barbecue, and nobody does barbecue better than Texans, so we were on the search for the best barbecue we could find.
I had been reading reviews from Trip Advisor about this special restaurant in Odessa that serves remarkable smoked brisket.
The restaurant is called the Bar-B-Que Barn and the owner, Darren Glisson, was not only super friendly but offered samples of his smoked brisket and smoked turkey.
The turkey was excellent, but the brisket was exceptional.
Darren said he smokes 30 pounds of brisket over Mesquite for 30 hours.
The result is a wonderfully smoky meat that is so tender it falls apart.
So in addition to our sandwiches, we also had to buy a pound of that fabulous brisket.
I mean, where else can you get that flavor and that quality of meat?
When we returned home, I wanted to have that brisket last even longer so I used it in Mesquite Smoked Brisket Chile.
I added the traditional ingredients of onions, which I caramelized for extra flavor, as well as well as tomatoes, garlic, both green and chipotle peppers, broth, a touch of vinegar, and molasses for a depth of flavor.
Normally in Chile, I don’t add beans, but in this one I added black beans for an extra kick of flavor and Health.
And you can’t have chile without great spices so I added Mesquite Smoke Powder, cumin, smoked paprika, a little dry mustard and Montreal Steak Seasoning which is a perfect blend of spices for beef.
Hope you enjoy this Mesquite Smoked Brisket Chile as much as we did.
