I cooked up a double batch of chili using some of the ground beef I cooked up in my previous session where I cooked up a whole 5 lbs. chub of ground beef. I made the chili in my 6 quart slow cooker. If you can tell by the picture, it was almost to the rim. For dinner that night I used 2 cups of it to make a cheesy chili pie. It was delish!
I separated the rest and put it into several different containers. Once the chili had completely cooled off I put it all in the refrigerator overnight. I poured 2 containers into a gallon sized labeled Ziploc bag, squeezed out as much air as possible, and put it on a baking sheet to freeze flat. The other containers I labeled and placed in the freezer. Now what can I use all of this chili for?
Meal ideas to serve chili over, in, or with:
* Chili Mac (I do homemade version)
* Chili Cheese Fries
* Chili Cheese Dogs (oven baked is good too)
* Taco Salad
* Chili Pie (Tamale Pie)
* Chili Stuffed Potatoes
* Chili Stuffed Peppers
* Cornbread Waffles topped with chili and cheese
* Potato Hash
* Rotel Chili Dip
* “Cincinnati” Style Chili
* Burritos
* Nachos
* Enchiladas
These are just examples of the many things you can do. If any other things come to mind, I may come back to add to this list later. What can you think of that I haven’t added to the list? Please fee free to let me know in the comments below. I will be back with you next week with another bulk cooking session.

I do the same thing with chili. I make a Large batch and freeze it
Cool! Do you do different things with it or just thaw out and eat a bowl of it each time?
Yum! This sounds delicious! Do you ever pressure can?
No I have not learned how to can anything. Maybe I will someday :)
Hey T, do you make homemade meatballs,and freeze?
I have but I got lazy and just use the frozen ones when they go on sale. That lets you know we don't have meatballs that often ;-)
