EGGPLANT CHILI

This recipe was clipped out of a magazine. A non-traditional version of chili that I thought was delicious. You can adjust the amount of spiciness to your taste. I prefer mine mild to moderately spicy. Add cayenne, red pepper flakes, or hot sauce if you prefer.

Tips:

  • To make the chili ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • To reheat the chili, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for several hours. Then, reheat it in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
