Notes

Leftover chili can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. When reheating, make sure it warms thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F. For longer storage, you can freeze the chili in freezer-safe containers for up to three months. Feel free to experiment with different beans or spices for a unique twist!
