Notes

  1. Chili always tastes better the next day when the beans have soaked up the flavors.
  2. Consider different cuts of meat. It doesn’t have to be all ground!  Coarsely chopped chuck and pulled meat are great additions to chili.
  3. Chili is one of the best meal prep dishes and so easy.
  4. I like to serve my chili with lots of toppings such as cheddar cheese, sour cream, avocado, jalapeños, red onion, tortilla chips or green onions.
  5. You can store this chili in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
  6. Freeze in an airtight container for 4-5 months.
