  • Add Broth, beans, and Seasonings: Pour in chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen up bits that are stuck. Add beans, seasoning mix, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and sugar. (Do not mix ingredients together. You want the tomatoes to stay towards the top while cooking.)

Notes

Meal Prep and Storage

  • To Prep-Ahead: Make up the seasoning mix beforehand. You can dice the vegetables the day before if needed.
  • To Store: Store leftover chili in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days.
  • To Freeze: Chili is a great dish to freeze for later. Place leftovers in a freezer-safe container and store for up to 4 to 6 months.
  • To Reheat: Warm up chili in a pot on the stove over medium-low heat.
