How long will chili stay edible in the fridge?

Here are some tips for maximizing the shelf life of your chili:

* Store it properly: Use an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and absorb odors from other foods.

* Cool it quickly: Allow the chili to cool to room temperature before storing it in the fridge. This reduces the risk of bacterial growth.

* Freeze it for longer storage: If you want to keep your chili for longer, you can freeze it for up to 2-3 months. Just make sure to defrost it completely before reheating.

Remember: Always trust your senses. If your chili smells off, has changed color significantly, or has an unusual texture, it's best to discard it, even if it's within the recommended storage time.
