You’ve made your famous chili recipe. Now you want to share it with friends and family (using covid safe measures). What can you do to enhance the evening? Set up a chili buffet, of course!

Top the serving table with a fall runner or table cloth. Lay out bowls and napkin-wrapped utensils for your guests. Beside your steaming pot of chili, place bowls of shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapenos, and other favorite toppings. You might also want to consider homemade cornmeal muffins for a yummy side.

If you have more than one type of chili, set out small cups and spoons for sampling. That way, everyone can try the different varieties without getting too full too quickly. As your guests sample all the chilis, have a scorecard available. Ask folks to rank each chili, then give the winning chef an inexpensive gift like a wooden spoon set or an apron.

IF you have any leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours of serving. It will be even better the next day as the flavors meld. The next day, reheat the chili and use as toppings on baked potatoes, nachos, or over leftover cornmeal muffins. Leftovers can also be frozen in individual size containers for future meals.
