Notes
- Allow leftovers of this chili mac recipe to cool completely, then store in an airtight container.
- FRIDGE: Store the leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- FREEZER: Leftover chili mac can be frozen in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
- While you can reheat leftovers in the microwave, I always recommend reheating on the stovetop. Keep in mind that the noodles may have absorbed some extra liquid, so you may need to add a splash of chicken broth or tomato juice when reheating.
