I tend to use some leftover meat for my chili. Now, the type of
leftover meat I use is Brisket and Pork Butt. That have been smoked
for some time... (Brisket the typical 12 hrs and Pork But 9 hrs give
or take depending on the size of the cut).
Usually when I smoke I ensure to make extra, so I can freeze it up and
use in dishes like the chili.
Ground beef would work just fine, but eh when ya gots the good stuff,
ya gots ta use it.
