If it's cool outside and you're looking for that perfect dish to warm you up, it's very hard to go wrong with chili. It's just one of those dishes that seems to hit all the right notes if you want that sweet and spicy flavor mixed with hearty ingredients. This Texas smoked chili con carne recipe allows you to utilize your Pit Boss wood pellet grill to add an additional smoky flavor profile into the mix. While this recipe calls for leftover beef ribs, feel free to use any protein source you desire (although we would recommend sticking to pork, chicken, turkey or beef).
