    🏁 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. 😎


    🛒 Ingredients

    • ½ lb stew meat
    • ½ lb ground beef
    • Optional: leftover brisket, chopped
    • 1 bell pepper, diced
    • 1 Serrano or jalapeño pepper, diced
    • 1 medium onion, chopped
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 4 tbsp Meat Church Texas Chili Seasoning
    • 1 tbsp Heath Riles Everyday Seasoning
    • 1 large can diced tomatoes
    • 1 small can tomato paste
    • 1 can light kidney beans
    • 1 can dark kidney beans
    • ½ container beef broth

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Brown the stew meat and ground beef in a skillet until lightly seared.
    2. Add onions, garlic, and peppers — sauté until fragrant.
    3. Transfer everything into your slow cooker or crockpot.
    4. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, beans, seasonings, and broth. Stir to combine.
    5. Set your cooker to “sauce” or high for 1–2 hours.
    6. Switch to slow cook for 4–6 hours to deepen the smoky flavor.
    7. Serve hot with shredded cheese, sour cream, or cornbread on the side.

    💡 Pit Stop Tip

    This chili freezes perfectly and tastes even better the next day.
    We love to portion it out for easy reheats during the week — or for those chilly nights when you just don’t want to cook.
