This makes 18 one-cup servings! I make a huge batch and usually use about 1.5 cups for my meal. Whatever I have left after meal prep for the week, I just freeze as this freezes great! Simply cool and pour into freezer bag, remove air, and freeze for up to three months.
NOTE: If you don't like a lot of spice, I would suggest using tomatoes rather than the tomatoes with chiles, omit the hot sauce, and maybe half the chili powder!

NOTE: When I make something in bulk that calls for 96% lean ground beef, I cut the cost and just use 80% or 85% lean. I cook it, drain it, and put it in a strainer and run water over it until the grease is off. I then treat it like it's the extra lean ground beef. I don't know whether that is accurate or not, but just wanted to share that's what I do. The points and nutritional facts are based on the 96% lean.
