Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover chili separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat the chili on the stovetop or microwave before serving over freshly baked fries. Fries are best cooked fresh to maintain crispiness, while hotdogs can be reheated quickly in a skillet or microwave.
