and now I have to eat it.
The idea was to save money, and don't get me wrong, it'd darned good chilli, but damn! 4 cups of dry beans sure looks like a lot more when you cook them and add 2 pounds of hamburger! I'll bet I'll be eating on this stuff for the next week and a half. I can smell the aftermath already!
Is it against proper etiquette to pawn leftover chilli off on visitors?
Compartmentalize the amount it into small containers and freeze them.
I do that with pasta sauces and chillies, works great, reheat the amount you want in a microwave and your good to go.
JD, that's wonderful! I don't think it's in bad form to give leftovers away, however, why don't you freeze the leftovers for another day? You can use some plastic containers that will give you serving size portions and then you can enjoy at your leisure.
I just made a big batch of beef stew. I don't eat it all as I freeze up a couple of containers for my Dad.
Ok, see... Homer and I are on the same wavelength here. He types faster than me!
By the way this is also a great way to cut down on your food bill,
so it makes more sense to do this and the next meal you want to have
you don't have to go through all the lengths of cooking in the kitchen/clean up and so on...
plus less trips to the grocery store.

If they're Regular Pioneers, Jehovah could be using you to further Kingdom interests.
We had Ham & Beans Sunday. I had some more of them Monday for lunch. Wednesday, chili...Don't stand behind me!!
Difficulty in cooking for one or two is trying to cook in small portions. I agree with all above, separate left overs into meal size portions, label (date and what it is) and freeze. I prefer the ziploc type freezer bags over "tupperware" because they take up less room and freeze better when you squeeze out the air.
When I see JWS coming up the street, I usually woof down a couple of burritos , by the time they reach my door I'm ready to let them rip,
they usually disembark quickly and that phony pretentious grin turns into a painful grimess saying things like " Satan lives there lets leave ".
