How much meat for 3 gallons of chili?

For 3 gallons of chili, you will need approximately 4-5 pounds of meat.

This amount can vary depending on your personal preferences and the specific ingredients you use.

Here is a general breakdown:

- Beef: 3 pounds of ground beef or chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes.

- Pork: 2 pounds of ground pork or pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes.

- Chicken: 3 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces.

- Turkey: 3 pounds of ground turkey or turkey breast, cut into 1-inch pieces.

TIP: If you are using a combination of meats, start by browning the beef or pork, as they take longer to cook. Then, add the chicken or turkey and cook until all of the meat is browned.
