    • Next, add your olive oil and onions to the Dutch oven. Sauté for 3 minutes to bring out the aroma.

    • Add your crushed tomatoes and water and stir well. Then, add your favorite brisket and remaining chili ingredients and stir well. Cover your Dutch oven and cook for 10-15 minutes.

    • Next, add your slurry mixture to thicken your chili. Stir in and cook for 10-15 minutes. Remove your Dutch oven from the coals and serve immediately.
