Notes

Storage

Store them in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container. It will last in the fridge for about 3-4 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.  Reheat the chili in a pot on the stove over medium heat until warmed all the way through. Thaw frozen chili in the fridge overnight before reheating. If it's too thick after storing, you can add some chicken broth to thin it out.
