We don't freeze our 'big batch chili' we make 3 VERY different meals out of it 3.nights in a row 1) plain bowl of chili w cheddar cheese crackers 2) chili tortilla chips and cheese with sour cream lettuce and tomato 3) big chewy noodles pour the chili over top of it and put parmesan cheese instead of cheddar cheese
One of my families favorites, chili. I might have to start making beans because the great value beans have gone up to 92 cents from 72 last year 😮
