So, I am making some chili for a cookoff later today.

I am making my with cubed brisket.

Anyone know if you simmer the chili longer will the briket become more tender?

I browned it just a bit before adding it to the crock pot.

With Brisket you'll need to be carefull you don't let it simmer too long. If you do, it will shred and no longer be cubed. Keep a close eye on it between the 2.5 and 3.5 hour mark. Have a look at www.chilli.org

If the brisket shreds it still will be delicious, in fact it will be better as you won't get chunks of meat to chew on. If the chili is to watery add a little cornstarch (1 table spoon w/8oz water, mix water and cornstarch first then add to chili) If it is to thick add 8oz of beer(dark if you got it). I own a resturant and am famous for my chili. I add whole corn kernals also.... not to many to be over bearing but just enough to give it color and a nice pop when you eat it! A crock pot worth of chili = about a cup of kernals. Have some good Italian bread handy....you making me hungry!

Good Luck! Bon Appetit!

does seem to be a bit watery....no corn starch, what else can i use to thicken it?

i still have about an hour of simmering, so it might cook down a bit more

Sounds amazing - I love me some chili. Making me hungry.

One of my fav recipes looks something like: 2lbs diced pork, onion, chicken broth, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, jalapeno, dried cilantro, green chili powder, green enchilada sauce, tons of green chili (diced & pureed), habenero to taste.

You can use flour instead of cornstarch. Just use it the same way. Also try leaving the top off the pot so the steam escapes instead of going back into the chili. This will thicken it a bit.
