Variations & swaps
Variation ideas
- Add cumin, chili powder, or cayenne for extra heat and depth
- Sneak in shredded carrots or chopped celery — the kids will never notice
- Use crushed tomatoes instead of diced for a smoother consistency
- Add a second can of beans for a heartier more filling chili
- Double or triple the batch for a crowd
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. The flavor gets even better overnight
- Let the chili cool completely then freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating
- Reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat stirring occasionally or microwave in 60-second intervals until warmed through
