I just made OTT chili this past weekend here in Ontario on my Weber kettle. Three pounds of meat (ground beef and ground pork), fire roasted tomatoes, and yes beans (it’s how I grew up eating chili and I love it). I used my own seasoning mix (I added coffee instead of chocolate) and everything came together amazingly in just over four hours (although I definitely could’ve simmered it longer). And of course I used Meat Church Holy Cow to season my three pound meatball. 😉 This is definitely my way to make chili from now on. Cheers!!
I was in once you put in a chunk of chocolate. My grandmas chili was the best I’ve ever had and I never knew that chocolate was her secret ingredient until years after she passed away. Looks like great stuff! God bless.
After I watched your video a couple weeks ago I made your recipe for over the top chili. The only variation I took was I cut up 5 jalapeños and added them. Best darn chili I’ve ever ate! Honesty, I was hesitant to not use beans with this recipe, so glad I did not add them! Thanks so much for sharing all your great recipes!
I had already made this in the past using meat, church chili powder. I just got on TH-cam to refresh my memory of how to do it and found the meat church actually just posted one! Good job, Matt!
It's crazy how the chocolate just romances the chilies you use and broadens their taste. Adds such a depth... makes you wonder 'what is that?' I serve with a big ol pot of Pintos on the side... Thank heaven fall is here!
Looks so simple and easy to do. My wife and i are renovating the kitchen and the hotplates and oven I'll be ripping out today. My Ironwood XL will be getting a hammering until i finish the kitchen so this will be one of the first thing i will be making on it. As always thanks for sharing. Cheers Bruce
Another banger! Your channel has become my go to channel for outdoor cooking! I look forward to a new cooking video each week. Love the no nonsense recipes. I can't wait to try this recipe and see how the cinnamon and chocolate add to the flavor of the chili!
OTT chili on my pellet grill is a fan favorite. I’m on to your chocolate addition! Been doing that for years. A good rich chocolate stout as well is a great addition. Keep on bringing these great videos. 👍🏻
I've made this chili a few times now.. twice with the smoked chuck version and once with this specific recipe. Its very good. Good enough for me to win the office chili competition. This recipe is very smoky, dark and dense with the chipotles in adobo, cinnamon and chocolate dominating the flavor profile. My only issue is that it is that those ingredients overpower the tomatoes, onions and beef a bit. I personally prefer chili to be a little looser and more tomato/beef dominant.. jmo. In any case I recommend you try this because everyone's tastes are different and it was fun to make. Thanks Matt!
Just saw this post, when Sunday I won our Church's Reformation Day chili cook off. With an over the top chili of Smoked chuck, ground beef, and hot bfast sausage, 50/50 W Sauce and Fireshire, and Meat Church seasoning. 😊 And yes, when I was announced as winner, my victory shout was, "I told you: #NobeansinChili!"
So, I just got a Lodge 10” Dutch oven..and I think this just might be what I make for it’s inaugural cook!! Thanks Matt, for the AWSOME recipes you put out!!! Hope You & your family are well!!! God Bless and… GO REDSKINS!!!
Your "Bowl of Red" is our House Chili these days - everyone loves it (and say, "wow, what is that?!"). We have plenty of elk in the freezer from last year, and I'll definitely being making this chili with that. And, oh ya, I am also a big fan of all day simmering ...... Great work as always, thanks so much.
Great video Matt! Growing up in Atlantic Canada, my family definitely used beans in our chili and I do prefer it that way for nostalgic reasons, but after doing a brisket chili once, I’m more torn. This recipe is getting tried out very soon for sure. Thanks for sharing!!!
Well done Matt. I will plan on trying this with your chili mix as soon as this Texas weather drops under the high 80’s!!!! I’ve tried most of your chili recipes except this one and the white chili. All have been exceptional and I know this one will be also. 👍👍
I slow smoke chuck roast, breakfast sausage, use your chili seasoning and a few other tricks. I always cook and simmer for hours, then put in the fridge over night. Slow cooker the next day to reheat. I get lots of compliments about my cooking and I just point to you. Thank you so much for all you do. Keep it up man!
I have had so much food done by a slow cooker. Now that I have a pellet smoker, I just love the smell. I`ve had my smoker since May and have done so much. Your Chili seasoning has been on my counter for a couple months. Now it is fall..I think it is time!!!!!!
I put it on 180 and let it smoke all day, put it in the fridge overnight and smoke it again the next day, do the same thing the next day so I have 3 days of smoke. I'll keep adding a little water. When the chili sits over night the flavors blend together so much better.
Having watched this video, now I understand the 'Beans / No Beans' thing. Texans are true to the chili queens version. But as that recipe was adapted by the rest of the country, chili was something you made to stretch out what you had, hence the addition of beans, corn, even (gasp!) potatoes. I make it both ways. Gonna have to try it smoked with some Mexican chocolate next time, for sure!
I've been making over top chili for a few years now. Never had a complaint, it's rare that there are left overs for omelets the next morning, and those who "don't like chili" end up enjoying it. I'll have to try adding chocolate to mine to see how it is. I've heard depending on the chocolate used, it can add a "earthy" flavor to it.
Hi Matt. Nice of you to mention Terlingua. My sister's been going to the chili cook off in Terlingua forever. Gail Starr, beloved country singer and now regular judge at the festival. She used to tell me stories about Jalapeño Sam Lewis and his armadillos. She's down there now. Can't wait to tell her your shout out and share you recipe. Be well!
I’ve done this a few times on the Traeger. The drippings ending up in the chilli is the best. Instead of a ball, I make a disk the same diameter as the Dutch oven, it gets the meat maximum smoke. The ring goes much deeper.
Question for fellow smokers: have you guys ever taken leftover brisket (already smoked and frozen) and turned it into chili? Would you basically do this recipe or something similar and crumble/chop the brisket into it? BTW, I love the idea of smoking the chili vs. slow cooking
Epic! Wouln't cook chilli any other way these days :) - although I do find that 80/20 beef does dump a lot of grease into the pot, so moved the pot to the side after about 45-60 mins. Gotta try the venison version really soon!
Made my first batch of OTT a few weekends ago. IDK why it took me so long. And it freezes super well! Next batch will be a double and we'll freeze it to just reheat when we want some.
I’m from the south but live in Cincinnati. Cincy chili is often brutally criticized for having added cinnamon and chocolate in it. “That’s not chili”, say people not from Cincy. So it’s hysterical to see Matt put it in and be called a genius! (I mean he is a genius, but that’s beside the point.)
This is a great video Matt, and I'm very curious about the Mexican chocolate. What brand chocolate did you use? I went on to Amazon and found some, but I'd like to copy you as much as possible. Wonderful job. Keep 'em coming!
I have my Weber Smokey Mountain setup so it runs for hours very similar to the pellet. I've been playing with variations on a another recipe with maple syrup but I am looking forward to giving this a go once my bag of Meat Church seasoning gets here.
You will never cook chili any other way after you do it this way. Been doing it a little over a year. My suggestion, different from the video, is Sautee the onions/peppers in the smoker, they soak up the smoke while simmering.
This is definitely something that I want to try, though probably with a combination of pork and beef. If you were to put beans in the chili, would you cook the dry beans first and then put them in?
Awesome.. Can't wait to make this.. I don't have a dutch oven but in the market for one.. How big a pot was used in this one? Don't think I wanna go any smaller than the one you used.
Tomatoes are used to reincorporate the pulp that is lost from turning dried chilies into powder. Pulp helps to give chili body and texture. If you were to use whole dried chilies like the OG Chili Queens used, you would discover that tomato isn't necessary.
Man, visually that looks insanely good, however, the amount of hot spices, it's a wonder you can even taste the food without burning yourself a new one. Having said that, I intend to try it, but I'm thinking the heat level will be excessive. Here in Australia, most like a little heat but are not accustomed to having an asbestos lining on our butts. I enjoy your channel, love the other meats that you smoke and BBQ.
Well it it venison which is super lean, so yea that it is expected to be a little dry. However, that is ok because it gets broken up and dropped into the chili to simmer. If I went with an 80/20 it wouldn't be as dry, but that would drip a ton of fat into the pot which venison does not. This is a prime example of why I'm a teacher.
I’m planning on trying this over the weekend. I’m a fan of beans in my chili, but if I add those (say a can of black beans and pinto or kidney beans) would you adjust any of the other ingredients? Such as an additional can of chiles, more chocolate, etc?
“Don’t use the cheap chocolate” …Meat Church, this is a Biden America. We gotta do what we gotta do! 😆 Thanks for the recipe man! My wife is excited to try it!
I absolutely love your chili seasoning! I'm doing over the top chili for Halloween tonight, but since I married into a family full of gringos I gotta go mild and add beans because they are adverse to heat and flavor.
Hey Matt! I like it and will be doing this, but how about a different way to make gumbo? Just made a pot (chicken and sausage) using some dry roasted flour (takes 45 minutes, make it in bulk) I've stored in the freezer for a year at least, and you can make pre-make batches to varying levels of darkness, also allowing you to add fat to taste rather than suspending flour in equal amount of oil to stir forever browning each time as a roux. I prefer holy trinity later so some veg texture retained. I know sounding pretentious, but honestly, I haven't found better, my last foray at GoGo Gumbo in Boyd, TX (disappointed).
Question, why does everyone that does a OTT chili video, they make the meat into a huge loaf/ball form? Why not make it a larger diameter and thinner so you get more smoke on the meat overall? Is it so you can capture the rendered grease / liquids into the Dutch oven? Thanks Matt for all the great videos and recipes.
I have some ground moose in the freezer. I'm thinking this is the right thing to make with it. 49 F in the Central Okanagan right now, so perfect timing!
Going to have to try this one. I tried poor man's burnt ends one time that came out entirely too salty to eat. I mean terrible. Not wanting to waste that much I froze them and made chili with them and just didn't add more salt. Came out great and now I really want smoked meats in my chili.
interesting technique, imo you could get alot more flavor out of the ground meat if you formed it into a big donut instead of a ball. huge gains in surface area, so you'll get more of that browning/smoke flavor, and you should still be able to fit the whole thing above your pot to catch all the drippings.
Been smoking for just a year now. Was really looking forward to doing OTT Chili this fall. This video came at the perfect time. Thanks Matt!!
You are most welcome Brian!
If you've only been smoking for a year you can still quit before you get really hooked.

Very cool - I deviate a bit and use a variety of dried chiles that I toast, then rehydrate in a dark roast coffee I brew, and blend for smoothness.
Love that!
I like the “West Texas” flavors with black coffee.
I use alkaline water to brew the coffee that goes in the chili.
Another great recipe Matt!
THANKS!!!!!
Wow!! Looks delicious!! Thanks for sharing!!
You are most welcome!
Love making chili this way. It is like a meatloaf chili because you get some crispier pieces when you break it up.
Great point!!!
No issues with moisture loss during an 8 hour simmer?
This sounds amazing and great for a cool fall day of “smoking”
Yeah you can. You may have to add stock, broth or beer along the way depending if\when you cover.
Looks great; will definitely be making this!
AWESOME!!
This looks and sounds awsome. Need to try that. Greetings from Germany❤❤
It's so good!
Question. Do you stir the chili periodically, or just leave it sit and simmer?

I know folks that make a flatter disc for more surface area for smoke and deeper penetration. Great move!
