How do you reheat low carb chili?

I reheat beanless chili in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. If a stove is not available, reheat the chili in the microwave in a microwave-safe container on 50% heat for 1 minute, stirring halfway through and heating until reaching the desired temperature.

Can beanless chili leftovers be frozen for future meals?

This beanless chili recipe is perfect for freezing for future meals. Be sure the chili has been cooled to at least room temperature by chilling it in an ice bath. Store in freezer safe containers removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. 

What do you serve on top of beanless chili?

• Fritos (omit if you are low carb)
• Tortilla chips, broken (omit if you are low carb)
