Notes
Making Ahead and Storing Leftovers
- Make Ahead: This chili is an excellent make-ahead meal. You can prep all of the ingredients the night before and refrigerate them in the slow cooker insert (if yours is refrigerator-safe), then just pop it into the base and turn it on the next morning. It will also work as a freezer meal.
- Make this on the Stovetop: No slow cooker? No problem. Add all the ingredients to a large pot, bring to a simmer, and cook for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Storing Leftovers: Leftovers keep beautifully. Store cooled chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors deepen as it sits, so the next day’s bowl is often even better than the first.
- To reheat, warm gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if the mixture seems too thick.
- To Freeze, let the chili cool completely, then store it in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stovetop or in the slow cooker until hot.
