Brisket Chili

I basically stole this recipe from Jeff in KC (from the BBQ Brethren forum). The recipe is pretty simple - though I used homemade salsa instead of Rotel. The beer is my hombrew stout. Here's an ingredient list:

2 lbs smoked brisket
5 strips bacon
4 cloves garlic
1 small onion
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp red pepper flakes (I got kids to think about!)
1 TBS Lowrey's seasoned salt
3 TBS chili powder
1 TBS dry mustard
1 tsp oregano
1 quart homemade salsa
1 bottle Monty's Sweet Stout

1 small can tomato paste

1 can chili beans
