DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat your TravelQ to 300°F. In a large bowl, combine the ground brisket, Worcestershire, garlic, salt, and pepper. Form the meat into 6 or 8 patties. Grill them using indirect heat for 15 to 20 minutes – until cooked or very nearly there.
  • Break the brisket into chunks in a large, heat-safe bowl. Add the kidney beans, tomatoes, onion, both peppers, beer, lime juice, garlic, and seasonings. Mix thoroughly
  • Divide the chili between 6 oven safe mugs, ceramic or enameled. *Remember to check and make sure that these mugs are safe for higher temperatures*.
  • Preheat the TravelQ to about 300°F once again, preparing for indirect grilling. Cook the chili for another 35 minutes.
  • Using heat-resistant BBQ gloves – like Napoleon’s – remove the mugs from the barbecue and allow them to cool until safe to touch. Top with sour cream and shredded cheese. Use tortilla chips instead of spoons.
