Ingredients:
- 2 - onions chopped
- 5 - bell peppers chopped
- 2 cloves - garlic chopped
- 2 - tablespoons. olive oil
- 1 - tablespoon chili powder
- 1 - teaspoon onion powder
- 1 - teaspoon granulated garlic
- 2 pounds - ground beef (Not too lean. 80/20 or 75/25)
- 1 cans - (28oz) whole peeled tomatoes
- 1 cans - (28oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 - can red kidney beans
Directions:
Prepare the Smoker
Set the Smoker for indirect cooking.
Set an uncovered dutch oven on the smoker. Be sure to use spacers if your dutch oven doesn’t have legs. You can use rolled up aluminum foil or Nuts to lift the dutch oven off the smoker. If the DO sits flat on the smokerthe chili will burn to the bottom.
Bring the temperature up to 300 degrees.
Add a few hickory chunks for smoke.
Kitchen Work
Add the olive oil to a large pan over medium high heat.
Add the garlic and allow to cook stirring occasionally for 1 minute or until aromatic.
Add the onions and allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften – about 5 minutes.
Add the peppers and continue to sauté until the onions begins to caramelize and brown and the peppers are soft – about 8-10 minutes.
Meatball Time
Take the ground beef and work in the spices with your hands – being careful not to overwork.
Shape the meat into a ball or loaf.
Back to the Grill
To the dutch oven add the sautéd garlic, onions and peppers.
Add the tomatoes and beans
Place a cooking grid directly on top of the dutch oven
Place the giant meatball on the cooking grid directly over the center of the dutch oven
Allow to cook until the meatball reaches an internal temperature of 150. (~ 3 hours)
Remove the meatball and break apart with a spatula into smaller bite-sized chunks. (Notice the smoke ring!)
Return the meatball pieces back to the chili and mix well.
Continue to cook for 2 hours or more stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to blend.
Serve hot.
