🏁 Pit Stop Smokehouse Chili 🍲 | The Ultimate Comfort Food for Chilly Nights
When the weather cools down, this hearty, smoky chili is what we crave most.
It’s rich, meaty, and full of that slow-simmered depth of flavor — featuring a triple blend of brisket, stew meat, and ground beef, plus bold seasoning from Meat Church Texas Chili and Heath Riles Everyday.
This one’s been slow-cooker tested, freezer approved, and officially Pit Stop Adventures comfort food certified. 😎

This chili freezes perfectly and tastes even better the next day.
