Generously season the chuck roast on all sides with 'Any Reason Seasoning'. Let it sit on the counter for about 20 minutes to allow the seasoning to 'sweat' into the meat.

Place the seasoned chuck roast on a Pit Boss pellet grill set to 275°F. Smoke on the top rack for 2 hours to infuse it with smoke flavor.

After smoking, remove the chuck roast from the grill and sear it on both sides until browned.

Transfer the seared chuck roast to a large pot or Dutch oven. Pour 32 fluid ounces of beef broth into the pot, along with any accumulated juices from the plate. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 2 to 3 hours until the chuck roast is fall-apart tender. Add water if the liquid cooks down too much.

While the chuck roast braises, in a separate large pot, add the 2 1/2 pounds of ground beef and season generously with 'Malcolm's Bonafide Chili Seasoning'. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.

Drain any excess grease from the ground beef (typically by soaking it up with paper towels). Add the 15 ounces of Holy Trinity mix (diced onions, bell peppers, and celery) to the browned ground beef and cook until softened, about 10 minutes.

Once the chuck roast is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it using forks or tongs. Add the shredded chuck roast and its cooking liquid to the pot with the ground beef and Holy Trinity.

To the chili pot, add the can of mild Ro-Tel, the can of tomato sauce, the 28 ounces of diced tomatoes, and the heaping tablespoon of tomato paste. Pour in an additional 15 fluid ounces of bone broth (or beef broth). Add 2 dashes of cumin and more 'Malcolm's Bonafide Chili Seasoning' as needed, along with the heaping tablespoon of minced garlic. Stir all ingredients together thoroughly.

Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover, and cook for approximately 3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen. The longer it simmers, the better the flavor.

After simmering, taste the chili and add additional 'Malcolm's Bonafide Chili Seasoning' and salt as needed. Stir well to combine.

Serve the chuck roast chili hot in bowls, garnished with a dollop of sour cream and a generous sprinkle of mild shredded cheddar cheese.
