Recipe Notes & Tips
Cool chilli completely in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight. Place in freezer containers or freezer bags and remove as much air as possible. Freeze for up to 2-3 months.
NOTE: If you cool the chilli in a freezer container, remember to open and wipe condensation off the lid before freezing. Excell moisture will turn into "freezer burn".
