Notes
This recipe makes a fairly thick chili. Add more beef broth for a thinner, more soupy chili. Chili is one of those dishes that gets better with time. You can make your chili up to four days ahead of time and store in the fridge. Store warm (not piping hot) chili in an airtight container and refrigerate. Chili will keep for up to five days. To freeze, transfer the chili to an airtight container with at least two inches of space between the top of the chili and the lid to allow for any expansion. Keeps for up to six months.
