Recipe Notes

Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freezes well in an airtight, freezer safe container for up to 3 months. We recommend freezing individual portions in 1 quart freezer bags. Measure 1 1/2 cup servings per bag. Pour into freezer bag. Lay flat on counter so chili evenly distributes and zip close bag. These stack nicely in the freezer minimizing storage space and also thaw quickly on the counter.
