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
