I have made a few different things with leftover brisket. I have done pizza, omeletts, french dip sandwiches (a family favorite at our house) to name a few.
This weekend I smoked a brisket on Saturday. The bride was out of town so my buddy came over and we had brisket. Sunday rolled around and I was thinking of something to do with the leftovers that I had not tried before so I decided chili made sense.
I scoured the site here and did not find what I was looking for and tried the internet and was overwhelmed with recipes. I finally decided to break out the "Cooks Country" cookbook and see what they had. I found a recipe that I thought looked good (had spices I liked) and did not look overwhelming or difficult as I had a lot of projects going this weekend.
I broke out the dutch oven and substituted leftover cubed brisket in place of the ground beef in the recipe. Next time I would increase the garlic and cumin a bit but other than that it turned out pretty darn good!
frying the onion, garlic, and red pepper and seasonings in a little canola oil
added the beans, crushed tomatoes, and freshly blended tomato juice
simmered for an hour then added the cubed brisket from Saturday's smoke
simmered for another hour while we were at church - boy the house smelled great when we got home
I will be using this one again it was really good. - The leftovers today for lunch were even better!!!!
