Cooking Tips

• For a spicier chili, you can add additional chili powder or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
• If you prefer a thicker chili, you can simmer it uncovered for the last 30 minutes to allow some of the liquid to evaporate.
• This chili can also be made in a slow cooker. Simply brown the meat and vegetables before transferring them to the slow cooker, then cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chili can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• To reheat, transfer the chili to a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
• Serve the reheated chili with your favorite toppings, or use it as a filling for tacos, burritos, or baked potatoes.
