Shelf life & Storage
The shelf life of chili sin carne can vary depending on how it’s stored. In the refrigerator, a properly stored chili sin carne can last for 3 to 4 days. Make sure it’s kept in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing other flavors in the fridge. For longer storage, chili sin carne can be frozen. When frozen in an airtight, freezer-safe container or a heavy-duty freezer bag, it can last for up to 4 to 6 months. Remember to cool your chili to room temperature before refrigerating or freezing to ensure food safety. Defrost frozen chili in the refrigerator overnight before reheating, and always reheat thoroughly before serving.
Serving options
Chili sin carne can be served in bowls with your choice of toppings, used as a filling for tacos or burritos, or even as a sauce for pasta for an interesting fusion dish. Its hearty and robust flavor profile makes it a satisfying main course, and its versatility allows for numerous creative serving options.
