- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- In today's video we are talking smoked over the top chili! This smoked chili recipe is sure to be a hit and it is so easy, especially when done on a pellet grill but of course you can use any cooker you have! I hadn't tried smoked over the top chili before making this video and I have to say this will not be the last time I make it! The delicious smokey goodness that comes from smoking the meat before incorporating it into the chili is absolutely amazing! I've also found that this smoked chili is even better the next day after letting all the smoked chili flavors merry together overnight! You absolutely have to try this smoked over the top chili recipe!
Now lets get into the prep and cook on this smoked chili:
| Ingredients |
-1 Pound Ground Beef
-1 Pound Pork Sausage
-1 Whole Yellow Onion (diced)
-1 Whole Green Pepper (diced)
-1 Whole Red Pepper (diced)
-1 Can Beef Broth
-1 Can Pinto Beans (optional)
-1 Can Red Kidney Beans (optional)
-1 Can Diced Tomatoes
-1 Can Tomato Soup
-SuckleBusters Chili Seasoning (to taste)
-Tailgater's BBQ Party Rub (to taste)
| Instructions |
Prep:
1. In an oven-safe pot, add the chopped yellow onion, green pepper, red pepper, beef broth, pinto beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, and tomato soup. Be sure to mix thoroughly.
2. Add chili seasoning and mix thoroughly.
3. In a bowl, mix together pork and ground beef until evenly incorporated. Once mixed form into a large meatball.
4. Season the large meatball with an all-purpose rub of your choice.
5. Put the meatball on a wire cooling rack and put it on top of the oven-safe pot. You want the drippings from the meatball to drip into the chili.
| Cooking |
1. Set the smoker to 250º F.
2. Once the smoker is to temp put the oven-safe pot and meatball on the smoker. Be sure the meatball is directly over the chili.
3. Smoke the chili and meatball for 1 hour at 250º F.
4. After one hour turn up the smoker temperature to 325º F and cook until the meatball has reached 150º F internally (about 1-1.5 hours).
5. Once the meatball reaches 150º F remove the meatball from the smoker and break up the meatball into small chunks to add back into the chili.
6. Add the broken-up ground meat into the chili pot and stir to incorporate the meat throughout the chili.
7. After the meat has been incorporated, smoke the chili for 30 minutes at 325º. Be sure to stir occasionally.
8. After 30 minutes, remove from the smoker and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
9. Serve with toppings of your choice and enjoy your over-the-top smoked chili!

The size of the Dutch oven is 4QT.
I just made this Chili recipe tonight and it was a HUGE hit! Every guest said “this is by far the best chili I have ever had!” Darren, great job with this! The flavor was off the charts and everything about this recipe is just so well balanced. I cannot wait to make this again! Thanks for posting this!
Great to hear!
Just made this for dinner tonight, loved it. Thanks for sharing and thanks for typing it up in the description super helpful
Awesome, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!
I made this today and it was AMAZING!!!! Thank you for this video. I’ve been seeing posts for this come up on various bbq sites and thought I’d give it a try. KILLER! 👍
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!
I have been trying to find the perfect chili recipe for years and thanks to Darrin - I just found it. I do not have a smoker, so I browned the meat in a skillet and then put it all in a pot. Came out outstanding- all I can say is wow, and thanks Darrin.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Darrin! Do you have exact measurements of all of the canned ingredients? I have different sized cans to start with so just curious how much of each will go in. Awesome recipe!
This is the best chili recipe ever! The Sucklebuster's chili seasoning is fantastic. I did make a couple or minor adjustments - 1) I have to make sure things I make for my family are gluten free. Most canned tomato soup has wheat gluten as a thickener. I did find a gluten-free tomato bisque canned soup and it works well. 2) I love the flavor of jalapeno and poblano peppers, so I add those in addition to the red and green bell peppers. I have followed many of your techniques and recipes, and haven't found one yet that I don't like. Your videos are awesome!
Thanks for the kind words
Your videos are easily my favorite on youtube for cooking: informative, concise, awesome food. Me and the whole family appreciate the content!!
Thank you so much for the support!
I was so excited to try out your recipe and it did not disappoint, might be the best chili I ever had (or at least that I made). Next time I will only use a pound of meat 1/2 lb. each of sausage/beef. 2 pounds is a lot of meat in my opinion, the beer was a nice touch. Smoke flavor on the meat was nice and subtle and not overpowering, really great flavor!
I dunno, but yours was the first over the top recipe I watched, and there are a million more out there. You seem to be Canadian, I am in Swakopmund, Namibia. Thank you, my family absolutely loves the cook and I revert back to your page every time I do so. Like you so well say, I modify it a bit. Awesome !!!!!
Sup darrin, just wanted to tell ya,I tried this, my wife had a chili cook off in their office, so I made this and it ended up, that this won their contest, thanks for the content ,and please Keep’em coming
Dude, that is awesome!!
Cold and rainy here i Northeast Indiana...this cook will be great in our chili rotation!
Hey Judge, man this stuff hits the spot on a cold day I tell you what!
Great recipe, made some slight changes to suit us and added some leftover diced smoked brisket. Delicious
Sounds amazing!!
Made this chili on Sunday, following your exact method and ingredients, we all agreed it was some of the best chili we have ever had!!!! The smoky flavor from the meat is what really made it, “over the top!!!" Thank you for the video.
Hey thanks for taking the time to come back and leave a comment! I’m so glad y’all enjoyed it! Thank you for your kind words and watching, I really appreciate it!
@@AshKickinBBQ One thing I may change up, next time I make the chili, add only 5 tbsp of the SuckleBusters seasoning instead of 6, I am a wimp with the heat, lol.
I am the hero of the day. This recipe is amazing. So simple to make and very delicious. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the nice comment! Glad it turned out well for you!
I love your videos, I just started using a smoker and your videos are the only videos I watch, your dishes are amazing
Thank you for the kind words and support Shawn!
Just made this tonight and the family loved it. I Added a can of rotel also to the mix. It didn’t turn out real thick like yours did in the video, but it was still good either way. They loved the smoked flavor of the meat.
Yeah man, awesome! It's so dang tasty! Glad the family enjoyed it!
Chili without beans is manwich
Agreed!
Did you notice any extra Grease in the chili from cooking it up top? It really looked good once you finished it off. Thanks for the video.
Hey there, I actually did not! Which was really surprising! Thanks for watching!
I made this recipe today on my Pitboss Pro 1150. You were spot on with times and temperature. It turned out great! I will definitely do this again.
Did you use the pork sausage
@@dillonmerchant409 I used chorizo.
Another great looking dish! I see this on my radar for a good football watching weekend! Did you mention the smoke flavor you used? If you did, I missed it. Thanks again for posting this!
Hi Nancy! Thank you so much! I used Cookin' Pellets The Perfect Mix, which is a blend of hickory, cherry, hard maple, and apple
Looks very incorporated and awesome
Thanks so much, it's really delicious!
oh man!!! where is the power like button!!! this looks great!!! Can't wait to try it. nice job brother...
Thank you so much! It is SO good!
Another great video. I’m in a habit of watching your videos on Friday so the weekend menu is set for football. I crack up every time you are slicing, pulling, or breaking apart and your dogs tail can be seen in the background. Pretty funny! Hope you and your family have an amazing Christmas!
Hey Rob! Man, that is awesome! You can't beat chili on football Sunday! Haha, yeah she is good old girl who just so happens to love food, and she is a great taste tester because she loves EVERYTHING! I hope y'all have a wonderful Christmas as well!
Looks delicious. You can also use Chorizo mixed with the ground beef instead of breakfast sausage if you’d like
try it with chorizo and sage sausage. wonderful earthy flavor!
I'm looking forward to trying this. Question - what size dutch oven do you use? Is that a 7 Quart?
I believe it is a 7 quart but don't quote me. I think I've answered that on here before if you can find it. Might be a 6 quart.
Great recipe. Hope your new year has started out just right. Keep smoking!
Thanks Doug, been recovering from being sick, hence no new videos the past two weeks! Hoping to get back to it soon!
Oh heck yeah! My kind of chili! I tried this a little while back and have made it a couple more times since😎👍🏼👍🏼
Man, it is so good! I was so surprised!
I made this is awesome, will make again
Awesome!!
Really awesome job. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching!
Hey man! Just a quick question. I ended up getting the two dump recipe kit. Is it possible to use that and still cook the way you made your chili?
Definitely, the dump kit is awesome
Hoping to try this next weekend for the big game. How big of a Dutch oven pot were you using?
This was a 4QT
Just finished making this recipe. TOP NOTCH!! Thank you again. It came out exactly how you explained. Great job!
You're so welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
Making this as I text, can’t wait to try it, I need more tailgaters, used the rest of it on the 🌶️
Heck yeah man! Tailgaters is awesome!
Made this chili this Sunday for the football game it was great thanks
So glad you enjoyed it Brian!
i can not find the big bottle of that chilli seasoning only 3.5oz did they stop the big one?
@@MrLineman88 nope, still on their website. www.sucklebusters.com/chili-and-tex-mex/texas-chili-1.2-lb/
Just got this on the smoker now. Just had regular McCormicks seasoning though 😢 we will see how it goes
Made my own version of this last night, and family was happy. Thanks man!
Awesome, glad they enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Did you preheat the smoker and put the chilli on or did you put the chilli on at initial smoke and start your timer when it hit 250?
Once it got up to temp
Can't wait to try. This looks great
Thank you! Please let me know how it turns out!
This Chili looks delicious! So easy, convenient, perfect meal to warm us up this winter! I also make cooking videos and love learning from others. I appreciate your sharing
I will check out your channel! Thanks so much for watching, and the comment!
Couldn't really see the chili at the end, so I couldn't tell if it looked delicious or not. Would have been nice to get a close-up and maybe see it stirred a little bit.
We love slow cooker chili... I would love to do something with my smoker... this is on my list of To-dos!
Step one - buy a cast iron pot and season it!
You will LOVE this recipe for sure brother!
Running to the store for the ingredients now!!! May I ask what size Dutch oven you are using? I need to pick one up, but there are of course several options. Just want to make sure I don't settle for too small of one in stock if I needed to get one on-line that's the right size. Thank you!
This one was 4 quarts, but truthfully I wish it was a bit bigger. Lol
@@AshKickinBBQ Thank you so much!!
looks awesome, trying this later today!
I literally went to the store today after watchin this video! going to be making it for a Christmas dinner! Can't wait to try it out! Love the videos man, keep it up! Merry Christmas!!
Matt, thanks so much for watching! You're in store for a wonderufl Christmas dinner! Thanks so much for your support and a very Merry Christmas to you as well!
How did it turn out?
Yeah, i can say that this chili is really good. when breaking up the meat ball, i cut and chunked it instead of crumbling. It gave it a steak-like texture which was really well smoked.
Great idea, I may have to try that next time!
I have short rib that’s been trimmed and off the bone. They’re smallish chunks, how long would they take and at what temperature?
No clue, lol. Too many variables to predict.
I saw Ric do these a couple weeks back is it that much of a difference from just putting the meat in the pot and cook it?
Never saw his video. I shot this a couple months ago. And yes there’s a huge difference in my opinion.
@@AshKickinBBQ ok thank you Darrin
I've made it both ways...Both are great, the trick (if you're using them) is getting good kidney beans....cheap ones tend to be tough.
Man that looked awesome Darrin! Looking forward to trying that recipe out! Better than average job! 👍
Thanks so much buddy! I appreciate it!
Thanks for sharing!
I like video clip
Thanks for watching!
Don't judge all Texans. I love beans in my chili. It has definitely gotten me into a few debates.
Haha, I can only imagine! No judgement here my friend!
That's the only way to do it.
I LOVE Sucklebusters rubs, (Hog Waller and Clucker Dust, and SPG). The Chili Seasoning is crazy hard to find here in Virginia. Amazon carries a little bit, but its overpriced. I use the McCormick's Original Chili Seasoning which works great too.
Hey George, that's awesome man! I've never tried the McCormicks, but I'll give it a whirl sometime!
how many packages did you use with the mcormicks for this recipe? Thanks!
That looks fantastic.
👍👍👍
Thanks so much!
Another great recipe! I can see using this same method for spaghetti sauce, stuffed shells etc.. Great video Darrin. Hope you and your family have a happy, safe and delicious holiday!
Thanks so much Mark! And yes, I have some very similar videos coming in the future with everything you suggested! I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday as well!
Thanks for making this video! Gonna try this tonight. Gonna use a packet of McCormick chili seasoning curious how the 6 tbs of Bucklebusters compares. Wonder if I need two packets then.
The SuckleBusters is some of the finest chili seasoning I have ever had.
Going to have to try that
Let me do if you do brother, it is so good!
Would it be better to make several smaller meatballs so you get more surface area for smoke?
I mean you could, I just like the big dog
Question for you - what is the benefit of doing a "meat ball" over top of the chili ? I was thinking of doing almost the same thing but instead of doing it "over the top", - making the meat in a foil pan and then dumping it into the chili after it is cooked. Seems like you would get more of the meat hit with the smoke. What are your thoughts?
You get the juices dripping into the chili adding more flavor
Hey Darren I have a question for you the only place that I can get the seasoning for him sucklebusters is at sportsman's Warehouse and they only had the bag of chili seasoning for sucklebusters that says it's like a two-stage drop seasoning is that the same stuff and I can just use your recipe with use that seasoning for it
It’s not the same, but it’s very very good!
Ok I'm trying it just with you recipe we're having a church chili cook off. We well see how it goes smells good
Hey Darren just wanted to tell you your recipe came out perfect. I didn't win anyting for the chili cook-off but my family and the people that tried it the seasoning was different like you said in the video but your recipe came out perfect I will definitely making this again
I haven't tried this method yet, but it sure looks great! 👍
Thank you Bobbi, it is absolutely delicious! I highly recommend it!
Looks wonderful brother!! I have to make another SuckleBusters order. Lol Gonna have to give that Chilli a try after I figure out what's going on with my new PB 1600. Well done man!!
lol I too am getting a revised/added sucklebusters order together!
Looks mighty tasty!
Hey Mark, what's going on with the 1600? Perhaps I can help!
@@AshKickinBBQ Hey Darrin, thanks for the help. I've been on the phone twice with PB and they said to give it a few cooks for the PID to learn but if it doesn't help they'll send me a new controller. But the problem is it is taking Foooorrrreeeevvvveeerrr to get up to set temps. Lol. Examples, 30 minutes to go from 100° to 300°. Also 30 minutes from 400° to 450°. When it does finally get to temp it stays rock steady tho. My 1100 pro is down waiting on a controller also which is on backorder, my luck. Lol. I'm hoping the 1600 is just learning and graduates soon or I'll just have to start the prime rib early for Christmas. It does have the 10° increment temp settings too.. What's your thoughts, did you have the same problems?
Good looking Chile👍
Thank you!!
Damn, I like using my Smoker, I like Chili -BOOM- going to have to try this thanks brother...
What kind of cooling tray you use? Thanks
Everything I use is always in the description
Thank you! I won first place in a chili competition!
I'm with you my Chilli has to have pinto beans 😊
Ah-Some. Get it INCORPORATED
Lol thanks
I enjoyed the food. I just added more pinto beans, thank you
That looks like a damn good chili!
Thank you so much :)
I won a local chili cook off with your recipe, thanks!
Wow, that is so amazing! Congrats!
What size Dutch oven did you use ?
4QT
What pellets did you use for this chili?
I used Cookin Pellets the perfect mix which is a blend of hickory, cherry, hard maple, and apple
What size is the Dutch Oven? 5qt? - 7 qt?
Pinned post in the comments shows it’s 4QT.
How many qts is your Dutch oven???
4QT use what ya got.
Wouldn't it be better to incorporate the seasoning inside the ground meat before making a ball out of it?
@@TalibPirani do what you want 👍🏼
Solid video
Thank you sir!
I wonder how it would be with deer meat instead?I got trim that is more fatty that i can mince
Enjoy all your recipes, have you done bologna?
Not yet but it’s on the list!
Do you need a Dutch oven for this
Or an oven proof pot, but everyone should own a Dutch oven
How much oil or fat drips into it. Do you skim it off the top?
Not a lot, no skimming, that's flavor.
would red wine or a dark ale taste good in that Great video though
Did the peppers soften?? I’m not a big fan of crunchy peppers
Yes they softened
@@AshKickinBBQ thanks for answering brother! This recipe looks delicious… gonna make a great Christmas break try out 😋
BEANS! Though I just use Kidney beans as the skin stays on better so they hold together during long cooks.
That's great information for folks! thanks for sharing!
What size cast-iron is that looks small ?
This is a 4 quart pot
I will try it, it looks bad ass! BEANS!
Thanks so much! Let me know how it turns out!
Can I use any bbq rub
Yes
What size is the Dutch Oven?
Lol, man. I’ve answered this a hundred times. 4QT.
Go Minnesota!
I also have the PB 1600 and I love it!
Heck yeah, awesome cooker for sure!
Can also throw a Chuck roast over it until the meat reaches 205 and then shred it up in there. 👍
Is it better the next day?
I think chili is always better the next day
SHOTS FIRED EARLY ! Let’s go! 😂
Gotta let em know ;)
What size pot is that
4QT
Do you not stir the chili the entire time it’s on the smoker?
You can if you want
@@AshKickinBBQ k I’ll try this method out. Love a good chili, and chili without beans is just for coneys
@@bengals22100 I couldn’t agree more brother! Let me know how it turns out!
I've heard if the beans cook too long they can get mushy, has anyone tried adding the beans later in the cook, or will they be OK?
How did you order thesuckebusters?
From their website? Links are in the description.
I looking on their site I can’t find the big bottle
Shhhhh don't tell anyone,but I'm from Texas and I only make chilIi with beans.
So..I tried this recipe today. Don't have the final result yet, but I would like to mention my experience so far. I would let that giant meatball smoke for at least another hour.. So 2 hours minimum. I did a hour and 20 minutes at 250 then separated.. Still a lot of raw meat.. Not a huge deal I know it will be fully cooked at 325 for another hour or so.. But why not add as much smoke flavor before I separated..I think fully cooked would have accomplished that.. So 250 for even 2 hours would be good.. Pellet smokers are never going to add the smoke of a offset.. So why rush the process? Yes we all want to eat today, but the beauty of a pellet grill is you can set it and forget it. So I would smoke that meatball a whole lot longer than a hour.. Maybe do the whole cook at 225 .. Yeah it takes longer.. But isn't that what bbq is all about?
Well if you’re cooking the meatball by time alone that’s part of the issue. Notice I pulled mine at 150-155°. The time was merely a suggestion. Also, my cooker might cook different than yours. I’m not a fan of over smoked products, so the way I did this worked for me. If you want to cook at 225° absolutely go for it, that’s not my style. I’m a hot and fast guy and I’ve had just as good results cooking things hot and fast vs. low and slow. BBQ is all about cooking things how you like it, which I state in numerous videos 👍🏼
Also, the problem with cooking it completely is that the meat can dry out during the cooking process, hence why you pull it and crumble it before it’s completely cooked. But as I said, you do you man! However you want to do it and you like it is how you should do it!
@@AshKickinBBQ I certainly meant no disrespect 😃 I was just adding my take on it. The chili did end up amazing. Appreciate your channel and experience.. And your right.. Make the BBQ your own.. For me.. letting the meat go a little longer before separation would be ideal, so I just wanted to share my experience with your recipe.. It was a great recipe 😃
@@midwest1228 I followed your method of smoking it longer as I have made this twice. I followed instructions exactly as video showed and than tonight at a low and slower pace. It was freaking outstanding. I could taste more smoke and it was there absolute best. Thank you very much for the tip!
@@evohead Glad it worked for you. I think you can get amazing results with a pellet grill/smoker. It takes more time though.. Lower temps are you friend. If you know that.. You can get some amazing results.. But you have to plan the cook accordingly.
A great example..I can get amazing ribs at 275 on my pellet grill. They turn out tender Everytime... But they lack that smoky flavor i want. Why? Cause if your using pellets you need to be at a minimum of 225 or lower to maximize the smoke flavor from the pellets. I don't know why.. But it works 😃
@@midwest1228 That's what I been doing wrong. I been cooking food at to high of a temp. I have a pit boss and I thought something was wrong with it because I barely see smoke. Today it smoked all afternoon at the lowest temps! I did crank it up after a couple hours because it's my understanding that after the first few hours the food won't take any more smoke on? I'm not sure about that but I cranked it up to 325°F for about 45 min after the meat hit 145°F internal temp.
What flavor pellets did you use? Oh and watch what you say about TX 😡
I’m from Texas and I don’t understand the bean thing.
Haha, that makes two of us!
“TEXAS”😂😂😂😂
Haha, I couldn’t resist 🤣
