Chili is a long simmer of chile and meat. The pot changes browning, boil-off, and how leftovers cool. USDA talks leftovers, not brand names. A 5- to 7-quart Dutch oven still wants the leftover split: shallow containers, not the whole pot in the fridge. Reheat leftovers to 165 F. Bring soups, sauces, and gravies to a boil.
Contest rules make the bean split explicit. ICS Traditional Red and CASI disqualify beans. ICS Homestyle requires them. Oklahoma home pots often use pinto. Cincinnati service puts kidney on spaghetti. Report the rule. Do not moralize it.
Longer lectures: Dutch oven vs stockpot. Ancho vs guajillo. Chili vs stew.
