Chili is one of my favorite meals to make, not just because it tastes so good but because it can be used for so many different things. When I make a pot of chili I usually double or even triple the recipe and freeze the leftovers.
The leftover chili seems to taste so much better the second time around, being topped with some sour cream and served with a few saltines. However the chili can be used for so much more. I like it for topping hot dogs, french fries and nachos, but it also tastes amazing mixed in with a pot of macaroni and cheese. I’ve even put it on hamburgers and used it as a side dish. There never seems to be a complaint when I serve chili.
