Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
  • This recipe makes great leftovers. Just store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chili in a microwave-safe dish, cover loosely with a paper towel, and microwave 30 seconds at a time until hot.
  • Serve this chili with a side of cornbread to make a whole meal. Don't have time to make cornbread? No worries, buy cornbread muffins at your grocery store in the bakery department.
