    Prepare the Brisket

    Trim any excess fat from the brisket and cut it into large cubes.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic. Set them aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Brisket

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the brisket cubes until browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

    Cook the Chili

    Cover the slow cooker and set it to low. Cook for 6-8 hours, or until the brisket is tender and flavors meld together.

Serving
