This is my go-to Chili recipe with a twist. This cooking method will help you add some delicious smoke flavor to your Chili. I cooked this on my Big Green Egg indirectly with mesquite wood chunks, but this can be done on any grill as long as you can place a rack over the cooking vessel. Do yourself a favor and get yourself an enameled cast iron Dutch Oven. They are incredible for cooks like this.
Follow the recipe below!

- 2 lbs ground beef
