I am making brisket chili. It calls for 2 pounds or ground meat. If I substitute cooked brisket for the ground meat, how many cups of chopped brisket will I need. Thanks.
Cooked meat = how much raw meat

Not to sound obvious, but weigh it.

Put as much as you would like. Amounts in ay recipe are just a guide line. I change amounts all the time. The amount of meat to add is really no big deal. Problem solved.

somebody shut me the fark up.
Guestimate according to the old proverbial saying, "A Pints a Pound the World Around"
2 cops make a pint, so 4 cups would equal 2 pounds...
That will get you close...

Thanks, you guys. I know the the practical answer is 2 cups to the pound. I was getting anal about it. Over thinking it. I need an excuse anyway to get a scale. I smoked a brisket last night for chili today. It was 13 pounds untrimeed. I was shocked just now at the cooked yield. I cubed up the brisket and ended up with 6 pounds of cubed brisket.

That sounds about right for yield. I just keep adding meat until it looks right.
