For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of ground beef and ground pork. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference. For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce. The chili can be made ahead of time and reheated. In fact, the flavor often improves after a day or two. For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with crumbled plant-based ground or a mix of vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and corn.
