I ended up bringing back the leftovers of 4 Tri Tip's from a recent group fishing/camping trip in effort to not allow them to go to waste, and I am thinking I would like to make a batch of chili or maybe chili soup (or a batch of each?) to bring to another upcoming Fest in 2 weeks!
I have not weighed the leftovers, but I'm guessing I've got about 3+ pounds which I have already hunked up into bite-size pieces... should I freeze the meat now and thaw it out just before the next fest to make the chili a day in advance? Should I make the chili now and then freeze it? Will it freeze okay for a week+?
Here's what I'm working with so far, leftovers from 4 different Tri Tip's that were grilled/smoked this past sat. evening (that means already cooked so I figure I may need to add the meat to the chili as a near-last step?!?)...

I found a couple similar potential recipes I may be able to make use of while researching online,
I would love to hear everyone's input including specific recipes or any other various ideas,
