Meal prepping? This chili will last 3 to 4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Be sure to let it cool completely before storing, and leave off those toppings to keep things fresh. Reheat in a pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. (Add a couple tablespoons of water to loosen it if it’s too thick!) Made this?
