Method

Chili Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Onions and Garlic

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add the Remaining Ingredients

    Add the shredded brisket, canned diced tomatoes (with juice), red kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Chili

    Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Fries Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Fries

    While the chili is simmering, prepare the French fries according to the package instructions. Bake or fry until crispy and golden brown.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine and Serve

    On a serving plate, layer the hot fries, followed by a generous portion of brisket chili. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat of the chili. Finish with diced red onion and a dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately.
