For an even richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will ensure optimal caramelization. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and hot pepper sauce to suit your preferred level of spiciness. A pinch of smoked paprika can also enhance the smoky depth of the chili. If you don't have red wine on hand, beef broth or even strong brewed coffee can be used as a substitute. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Cornbread or tortilla chips make excellent accompaniments.
