Salt and ground black pepper

Brisket Chili:

1/4 cup oil

1 red bell pepper

1/2 yellow onion

1/8 cup plus 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder

4 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 1/2 teaspoons granulated garlic

1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard

1 1/2 teaspoons paprika

1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon oregano

2 bay leaves

1/2 ounce tomato paste

6 tablespoons marinara sauce

1 cup diced tomato

1 cup black beans

2 ounces chicken base

1/2 ounce sriracha

1/2 cup cornstarch

4 ounces dried spaghetti, cooked

Shredded Cheddar, for serving

Directions

Special equipment:
a smoker
  1. For the brisket: Preheat a smoker to 235 degrees F.
  2. Rub the brisket with equal parts salt and pepper. Smoke until it reaches an internal temperature of 203 degrees F, 12 to 14 hours.
  3. For the brisket chili: Heat the oil in a Dutch oven. Add the peppers and onions and sweat. Meanwhile, mix together the chili powder, cumin, granulated garlic, dry mustard, paprika, sugar, black pepper, cayenne and oregano in a bowl. Add the spices, bay leaves and tomato paste to the vegetables. Cook on low for 30 minutes. Add the marinara sauce, tomatoes, black beans and 1 quart water. Add the chicken base and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour.
  4. Dice 1 1/4 pounds brisket (save the remaining brisket for another use). Add the brisket and sriracha, then return to a boil. Stir the cornstarch into 1 1/2 cups water, then add the slurry to the sauce and cook until the thickness is to your liking.
  5. Plate the pasta, then ladle the brisket chili on top. Top with the shredded Cheddar.
