To prepare, simply heat the chili in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is thoroughly heated through. Alternatively, you can heat it in a microwave-safe bowl, covering it loosely and heating for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. For a richer flavor, some people prefer to simmer it on the stovetop for a longer period. It can be served hot as is, or enhanced with toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped onions.
