  • To reheat. Individual servings can be reheated in the microwave, while the stovetop works best for larger amounts.
  • To freeze. Once the chili has cooled completely, transfer it to freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Let your chili thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying it again.
