Whenever there’s a chill in the air, @thehungryhussey knows it’s time for his famous Over-the-Top Chili! Smoked to perfection on the Blackstone Pellet Grill, this hearty dish gets its incredible flavor from bold spices, roasted meat, and a little smoky magic. Perfect for cozy nights, Hussey’s chili is what he calls ‘some good groceries!’
Over-the-Top Chili:
Ingredients
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped yellow onion
2 fresh jalapeños, diced
4–5 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons Bacon Up (or preferred cooking fat)
½ cup chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons coriander
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 (15 oz) cans diced tomatoes
1 (14 oz) can Rotel
1 (14 oz) can tomato sauce
12 oz tomato juice
1 container unsalted beef broth
1 tablespoon Knorr tomato and chicken powder
1 can kidney beans
2 lbs ground chuck
2 teaspoons Essentials blend seasoning
2 teaspoons Outlaw BBQ seasoning
1 teaspoon Blackening seasoning
Directions
1. Get the pellet grill up to 250°F. Preheat the griddle to low heat.
2. Chop celery, onion, jalapeños, and garlic. Add 1 tablespoon Bacon Up to the griddle and sauté the celery, onion, and jalapeños until softened. Add the garlic near the end.
3. Place a Dutch oven on the griddle or pellet grill and add 1 tablespoon Bacon Up. Add all the spices (chili powder, cumin, coriander, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne, smoked paprika) to the Dutch oven and bloom them for 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add diced tomatoes, Rotel, tomato sauce, tomato juice, beef broth, kidney beans, and Knorr tomato and chicken powder into the Dutch oven. Stir well to combine.
5. Season the ground chuck with Essentials blend seasoning and mix it into the meat. Shape the meat into a large ball and coat it with Outlaw BBQ seasoning and Blackened seasoning.
6. Place a wire rack over the Dutch oven and position the meatball on the rack. Cook in the pellet grill until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, approximately 1 hour.
7. Remove the meatball, chop it into bite-sized pieces, and add it to the Dutch oven.
8. Return the Dutch oven to the pellet grill and simmer for an additional 2–3 hours to develop flavors.
9. Remove the Dutch oven from the grill and serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as smoked cheddar cheese, pickled jalapeños, and sour cream.

Chili without bean is simply un-American.

Here in northern Ohio, it's beans for sure.
No beans there’s enough filler with the tomatoes
Yes to beans! Pinto
Ok
Beans were traditionaly used to replace some of the meat because of the cost/availability
Sorry but you didnt make chili, you made bean soup with meat.
This looks great .. I have done Over the top many times and love it . I set aside pulled pork, brisket and chicken for my chili as well .. I add it to my dutch oven a and add ground sausage to the meat ball.
Lots of them there beans for me
Beans, Yes! Plus it makes more Chilli and you can feed more people. I have even added mushrooms to mine.
The secret is to undercook the onions, everyone will get to know each other in the pot
Beans are a must otherwise it's just chilly flavored meat.
Chile is not chile without beans. Lots and lots of beans.

Too soupy for me. I like a thicker chili, but I'm sure it tastes good.

Dang it Matt! Chili looked fantastic. Used to eat beans in my chili but as of late no beans 😂 this definitely is a topic that is touchy with many 😂😂. Have a fantastic weekend brother, cheers my friend
This is one of my favorites personalities on this channel. Alongside Mitchell, all of them southern men can seriously cook it up. My favorite to watch and learn from.
That's Not chili.
It's soup…
I would not like to put that on a hotdog… 🤢🤮
That's chili concarny soup…
