OTT chili (which stands for over the top Chilli) is pretty much a Technique than a recipe, a very simple one and yet so useful and effective!
You basically smoke the meat over the chili sauce, then you break-up the ball of cooked once and add it to the chili and continue to cook at low temperature. The result is amazing and delicious!
One of our group members, Luca Varini, sent me this wonderful recipe and wanted me to share his recipe for OTT chili with the group.
Three 1.25 oz chili seasoning packets, or an equivalent amount of your own awesome Chili seasoning blend.
Tastes even better when reheated! Serve with some cheddar cheese and sour cream as toppings, and green onion for garnish.
If you have some leftover brisket, take about 1 lb and substitute it for one of the meats. Chop it into small cubes and add them to the cook. From experience, it’s easier to add them after you crumble the patty or it won’t hold together very well… after all, it’s already cooked and smoked so you’re just reheating it with the simmer.
Chili will darken some after the simmer and extra smoke.
Big thanks to Luca Varini for this recipe, don’t forget to check Luca’s Instagram >

Amazing…..it’s really like going to heaven via our eyes and the stomach. Thanks for sharing
Looks and sounds amazing, Will have to try this.
I make my own chilli powder, found some recipe off of the internet, it said use Cayenne Peppers, dried and powdered, but I was growing some Serrano and Habenaro Peppers and I have food dehydrator, so using that recipe, I scrached out the Cayenne Pepper and wrote Serrano and Habenaro Peppers, dried and crushed. And that is much better tasting Chili powder for me.
But then again, any chicken I eat, I eat with a Habernero sauce, any soup I eat, has Tabasco Sauce in it, I make my own chip dip and it has Habernero dust added to it, and I eat the heat many other ways also.
My Chili has nothing But meat, tomatos and beans and Chili Powder. My chili Powder get spread over and cooked with the raw meats, then tomaoes and beansget added.
That sounds tasty as hell!
