2. Heat a skillet with 2 tsp olive oil and sauté chopped onions, garlic and jalapeños for about 3-4 minutes then set aside.
3. Use that same skillet with 3 tsp olive oil and brown the chopped brisket then set aside. In a cast iron Dutch oven add Ro-Tel, beer, beef broth, salt and pepper.

5. Add beans and lower cooker to 275 F. Allow chili to cook for another 45 minutes. If you need to thicken the chili at this point, spoon out some of the hot liquid from the chili into 1/2 cup of flour and wisk quickly to makes rue. Once all lumps are out of the rue, add this back to the chili and cook for another 20 minutes.
