Notes
For a heartier chili, You can't go wrong by adding cooked macaroni noodles, diced bell pepper, hot sauce, more diced onion and diced tomato, and chili powder.
Any remaining chili can be added to an airtight container and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. It also freezes well. Reheat over medium heat until warmed throughout and enjoy again!
