I love these because they are a great way to use up leftover chili. In your week’s menu, you can schedule a chili meal, perhaps with some cornbread on the side, and then later on in the week, plan on using the leftovers to make stuffed potatoes or sweet potatoes. Whip up a giant pot of chili and you’re golden!
