Notes
Freezer-Friendly: This chili is great for meal prep. Leftovers can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Customizable: If you'd like to make it even heartier, you can add some diced bell peppers or jalapeños for a slight kick of spice.
Toppings: The chili is perfect on its own, but toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, and tortilla chips will elevate the flavor.
