Saving The Chilli Con Carne For Later

• Leftovers: Cool to room temperature before storing. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Place containers on a shelf, not the fridge door, for consistent temperature.
• Freezing: Chili can be frozen for 2-3 months ideally using a freezer-safe container or vacuum-sealed bags. Ensure there’s some space for expansion as the chilli freezes. When ready to eat, thaw frozen chilli in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat it within 24 hours of thawing.
• Reheating: Reheat until piping hot (165°F / 74°C) to ensure it’s safe to eat.
  • On the Stovetop: Put the chilli con carne into a saucepan and heat on low to medium heat covering with a lid 
  • In the Microwave: Place the desired amount of chilli con carne in a microwave-safe dish or bowl and heat in 1-2 minute intervals on medium-high power (70-80%) to prevent overcooking until it reaches the correct temperature at its thickest part.
