How to Store Leftover Chili
Chili is easy to reheat to eat later in the week, simply place in a microwave-safe bowl and reheat for about 1 minute. Store chili for up to 4-5 days in a airtight container in the refrigerator. If chili is too thick add a little bit of water or broth to thin before heating.
You can also freeze leftover chili for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat the next day.
