Saddlebag Chili

Saddlebag chili with ground brisket, bacon fat, beer, sour mash whiskey, and eight whole jalapeños. A boozy, smoky cowboy-style chili built for the long simmer.

Don's Ambush Chili

This no-beans chili packs a wallop with 5 pounds of beef and pork, 8 jalapeños, beer, bourbon, and a hit of molasses for smoky depth. Thick, meaty, and built to bring the heat.

Six pounds of beef and venison cubed and simmered in cast iron with beer, whiskey, cola, ancho chiles, jalapeños, cayenne, and hot sauce. This is not a chili for the faint of heart. Bring a cold drink.

Deadman's Chili

A killer no-bean Texas-style chili with coarse-ground chuck, beer, tequila, whiskey, and six whole jalapeños. Not for the faint of heart.

Branding Iron Chili

Big-batch Texas-style chili with 5 lbs of rough-ground beef and pork simmered in beer, sour mash whiskey, jalapenos, and a heavy hand of cumin. No beans. No compromise. Pure cowboy heat.
