Is this meal freezer friendly? Can I freeze leftovers for future meals? If so how long does it usually keep?
Hi Jessica!
I haven’t tried freezing this one. I think it would work. In general, you can keep a freezer meal for 3 months or so. If you give it a try, let me know how it works!

Is the “optional 12 oz can of beer or 1.5 cups of chicken broth” in addition to the 1/2 cup of chicken broth or is it “optional” meaning only to be used to achieve a thinner consistency? If not, then the total liquid would be 12 oz of beer or 1.5 cups of broth? Wou;d like to make this but do not want to add too much liquid. Thanks!!
Hi ShirlR!
The beer/1.5 cups of broth is in addition to the 1/2 cup of broth. It is a matter of preference. If you like your chili thicker, you don’t have to add in the beer or additional broth. If you would like it thinner, you can add it. It is totally up to you. Make it your own! Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
Mild or hot salsa? Can you use chilies in place of or with?
Hi Cherre!
I used mild since I can’t handle spicy, but if you prefer spicy foods, you could definitely use hot. If you want chilies in it, I would use them in addition to, but not in place of the salsa. Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
Thank you! I like that this is a simple recipe that only needs a few ingredients! I can’t wait to try it out!
4 cans of beans??
Yes ma’am! Enjoy!
Do you drain/rinse the cans of beans?
Hi Kimberly!
Nope! Just pour them on in! Enjoy!
