For an even richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef with a diced onion and a clove or two of minced garlic. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred level of spiciness. The chili can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Its flavor will only improve over time! For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with plant-based ground and use vegetable broth.
