Notes

  • Storage: Store slow cooker chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Chili tends to thicken as it cools, so leftover chili will likely be thicker than when you first made it. Add 1 tablespoon of broth or water at a time to thin out the chili to your desired consistency.
  • Freezer Instructions: Let the chili cool completely, transfer it to freezer-safe containers, seal, and freeze for up to 3 months.
