okay folks listen this is your boy AB
right I'm going to say it this way you
guys have probably seen if you've been
following me for a minute I done made
chili all kind of ways I didn't gave you
guys the heads up about adding the
cinnamon but listen this is going to be
your new favorite follow this one to a T
and we F to get it okay so look this is
what we going to do right obviously I'm
using a cast iron it's a nice heavy cast
iron skillet you know what I mean so we
going to start putting some heat here
let it spread so let me get this on top
now we going to turn our attention to
these ingredients right before I show
you these you know as you guys are
looking at them anyway don't forget the
full ingredient list is on my website
that's smoking and Grilling withth a.com
and that's
wab.com now listen we got a couple
little you know a few little cans right
here but don't worry all of these have
been you know except for this everything
else has been drained right real easy we
doing it in the crockpot this is going
to be our tool of choice you guys can
have a choice to cook this all day and
then for those of you guys that didn't
really like plan it out that way we can
go ahead and just make this in probably
about 4 hours you know what I mean so
when you get off work go ahead throw
these ingredients in there and let that
do it now as this is building up heat
let's check it a yeah it starting to get
hot already you know what I mean so I'm
just going to add just a little bit now
when it come to my beef I use 8020 right
so let's just go ahead and get this in
here all right so listen this is how we
going to do it I'm going to go ahead and
just break this up a little bit cuz what
we want to do is get maximum coverage on
the bottom just from the
y right and the reason I do that cuz I
like to get a little crust in there too
all of this equals the flavor right so
when I break it up like
this we just leave it now I'm not going
to disturb it or nothing like that I'm
actually getting ready to turn up my
fire you know what I mean uh yeah we
want to have like a medium flame
underneath the bottom right and then
don't forget this is uh 8020 so you'll
see it starting to release some of the
fat inside of here too so you see this
right here this is what we want I still
see some pink but I'm giving to do is
put in about half of my onion you know
if you put in too much don't worry about
it you know what I mean uh but you just
want to put half in cuz we going to cook
this and get this to sweat down you know
what I mean and release it flavors
inside of here
right so we'll just mix this and notice
I'm using a look this is actually bamboo
right but I'm using a square Edge wooden
spoon so what I do is I take it all of
the big pieces like you know that's in
here we just go ahead and hit them and
then we get them to you know get smaller
you know it's a you if you want to leave
it chunky you
can you know what I mean but I like mine
to be getting a little bit on the fine
side okay so look you can see I put my
minced garlic I put it on top right now
I'm going to add my
paste and now we just give this a mix
along with our garlic and get everything
to like loosen up right you're not going
to get the paste to like just run like
you know like a liquid even though this
is all hot and then I wanted I told you
guys in the very beginning I did 8020
right but look right here when I push
this back you really don't see a lot of
Grease if you guys have a lot of Grease
you know what I mean for some reason I
don't know why you would cuz if you use
an 8020 it should be the same but if you
do you can drain it all right so now I'm
going to take the rest of my seasonings
and I'm going to go ahead and just add
these to it right trust me I measured
this all out for you guys you guys go
ahead and do it just like this and I
promise you you going to come up with
something that's going to knock your
socks off all right so now we getting
ready to just man this came out right if
you don't smell what you did right here
this is your prep work getting your
ground beef together if you don't smell
it and it don't smell like chili you did
something wrong right but now we going
to make an awardwinning chili so let's
go ahead get this in
here all right now we worked hard to get
it I know this is going to be a little
petty but we going to get all of this in
there any of that little flavor any of
that fat that I do see let's get it all
I promise you it's going to make a
difference at the end now some of y'all
going to say something about my onions
remember I saved some onions back watch
this all right so look come on in here
take a look at this right here right I'm
going to go ahead and get to this onion
part since I brought it up I cook the
onions down there cuz I want them to
sweat and put the onion in there so I
can get that flavor right it's just part
of the the the the the mixture right
this that's the part that makes sense
you put it there like that now I'm going
come with these now some of y'all I know
you going to say how come I didn't just
put them all in cuz these I want to see
a little onion at the end and I want to
have some Integrity but these the other
onions I put in there you can barely see
them you can see them though you can see
them right there look at that that's
your flavor now when these other the
last onions that I just put in when
those cook down those are going to be
just right it's going to help you with
the presentation but most of all it's
going to you'll see you going to have
that onion you know that little bite of
onion inside right you know each
spoonful so the rest of it is real easy
you just take it and you pour everything
in it becomes a dump and go
[Music]
folks just a little bit of prep work in
the beginning
I'm going to say this 15 20 minutes you
in your crock poot and it's already
working now we adding our beans you know
we got to talk about it folks and you
know what I used to think that everybody
in Texas don't like beans but that is so
wrong you know I think half the state is
divided some people say that beans don't
even belong inside of uh chili you guys
let me know what you think and what's
your opinion down in the comment section
below this is going to be a little
different
as far as like if you've been watching
my last videos because of the flavor I
like to use the profile from chicken
stock right you know chicken stock or
chicken broth but this time we using
look at that right there that's that
beef broth so I'm going just pour this
in here just like you see now it's
measured out and it's just right you
know I mean so you guys go ahead do it
please follow these instructions just
like this and I'm going to show you how
we going to level it up at the end you
know but this right here will be your
next chili you take to your next potluck
or wherever you going to take it matter
of fact enter it in the fireman's uh
chili cook off you know what I mean just
you know what I'm saying you ain't got
to let them know that you got it from
here but these come back and tell me
like ai1 AB thanks all right now I'm
just going to give this a little oh
that's all it is just a generous pinch
of uh salt that's kosher salt that is
you guys know I like to use that you
know what I mean that's a coar grind and
then this oh yeah
now we going to let the crockpot do all
the
work take
it now we set the time all right so when
it come to power listen we can do this
eight hours on low or we can do this
four hours on high right so we going to
go ahead and hit High cook I'm going go
ahead and start bringing my time up
right now we should be at 4 actually I'm
going to put it at 4 hours and 30
minutes and I'm going hit start and I'll
see you guys in a little while okay let
me give you guys a pro tip right listen
when using a Crockpot or slow cooker it
is designed for the lid to be on you
know what I mean uh it does if you take
the top off to check stir or do anything
add 30 minutes onto your cook just the
way it's designed it keep the heat in
and that's all been calculated you know
when we come up with these timing but
remember if you take the top off you
done let all the heat out we got to
build all that back so you might as well
add 30 more minutes ab's Pro tip all
right so listen we back folks so I'm
going go ahead and break this away from
myself let any of this little steam out
I actually you know I don't know if you
guys saw I set it for 4 and 1/2 hours
you know what I mean then this
particular model right here what it does
is it it uh set itself to warm but I
want you to look at this right here
remember I told you I took the time to
get the measurements just right for
y'all look at the thickness this right
here is some
chili yeah this is it right here yes sir
so let me go ahead and take a couple
pictures of this then we F to taste it
now let me just see one thing while we
got it like this you can see what I'm
talking about about the
the other onions are just kind of like
dissipate and just release all of its
flavor into the chili and this right
here are the ones that we put on there
the last minute you know what I'm saying
they more on the raw side but now that
they cook down they nice folks
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
okay folks look I didn't already you
know obviously you know I put some in
the bowl took some pictures right here
it's all about you know we got to get
you guys to come in here and click on it
right so if we make a nice looking
thumbnail and then you know most you
guys that probably know who I am you
guys you know put that trust factor in
there you know I'll never steal you
wrong and we come up with something like
this look at how it presents that right
there is fire now I can tell you I done
stuck a couple of these uh corn chips
inside of there and you know they got me
some this right here is just right on
point listen I'm not going to over talk
or nothing like that got to had that
cornbread and you know what we going to
do we going to just go right in here
like this oh wait we got to add at least
one of these on top now look I want to
show you something you see this right
there see how it get soft some of y'all
going to like it crunchy be honest with
you I like to put these underneath let
them get nice and soft I get my you know
cornbread and all of this all in one
this one is going to be crispy and
soft now what you didn't see me do off
camera which I forgot to even record
that I'm going to say something that's
going to sound crazy right you want to
put I already put it up too you going to
want to put a teaspoon just level it off
for the amount for the ingredients that
I gave you just put a teaspoon of
cinnamon and trust me read the comments
those who know have ate some of my other
chilies you know what I mean uh that
just levels it up won't nobody even know
it's no cinnamon in there you know I
mean once they just put it in their
mouth they like dang it's something in
here that's different and that's what's
going to be the fire now talk to me down
