Notes

To store leftovers, let the chili cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days or freeze for longer storage. For the best results, use fresh vegetables and quality ground beef. Allow the chili to simmer longer for deeper flavors. You can also adjust the spices to suit your taste.
