Can smoked meat get even better?? One of my favorites to do with leftover meat from smoking is to make them into soups! When I made my smoked pork shoulder roast we had a lot of meat left and of course the bones as well. I opted to make up a chili with the leftovers and it turned out amazing.

I had hoped to do this in the crockpot but the bones were too big so I opted to do this on the stove and made a huge batch, the leftovers froze amazing!! You can remove the meat from the bone if you want but I love the pork bone adds some flavor as well! Now if you aren’t using a heavily seasoned smoked pork I will recommend you add some more seasoning, I knew we had a ton of seasoning that would come off when it was in the pot boiling so I didn’t season it too much.

Smoked Pork Chili Recipe Directions:
Now I made this on the stove top due to the fact the bone and the meat was too large to fit into our crock pot. Now I have always had a big stock pot to use to make gumbo, other soups, broth etc. If you don’t have one I highly recommend getting one. The stock pot I used to make this was a 16 Quart Stockpot.

Fill your pot about halfway full of water and add in broth
Bring the pot to a rolling boil
Slowly add in your meat and meat bones if applicable
Add in the rest of your ingredients as well, you may need to add more water and broth if it wasn’t enough to cover everything
Turn the heat down and allow to boil for a couple hours with randomly stirring it as well
Serve and enjoy!! Next time I plan to get bread bowls for this.
