** This Chili is delicious served with some Puff Pastry Twists or slice up some Crusty Italian Bread, top with a slice of Prosciutto and a slice of Cheese, stick it under the broiler until melted.
Notes
Turn this into a slow cooker chili soup and instead of simmering it on the stove after browning the beef, place ingredients into the slow cooker on low for 5-6 hours. Leftover chili can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. It just gets better with time!Cool completely then store the beef chili in an airtight container for up to 3 months. I love to freeze it in individual portions for meal prep. Thaw overnight and then reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
