Smoked Chuck Roast Chili is my 'Lotsa Meatsa’, super heavy on meat, very thick, light on beans version of chili. It has a deep, complex flavor from Guinness Stout, bacon, traditional chili spices, cocoa powder, and smoke. You don't need a smoker to make it, but it is made on a barbecue grill.

There are as many variations of Over The Top smoked chili as there are variations of ‘regular’ chili. Often referred to as OTT chili, the basic idea is that you smoke a ground beef mixture over a pot of chili mixings, such as tomatoes, beans (oh no! I used beans!), etc. As the beef cooks some of the fat drips into the chili pot, adding flavor. And of course the smoked beef picks up on some smoke flavor, too.

Smoked Chili Over The Top is the BEST chili EVER. Smoked ground beef in classic chili ingredients, OTT chili has incredible depth of flavor.

This over-the-top smoked chili features a spicy chili base topped with a smoky, crumbled meat loaf made from ground beef.
