Cook’s notes
The chili tastes even better the next day, so it is a good make-ahead dish; it keeps 4 days in the fridge and freezes for 3 months. Black or pinto beans can replace the kidney beans. For more depth, add a square of dark chocolate or a splash of coffee in the last 10 minutes of simmering.
