For a richer, more complex flavor, consider using a combination of ground beef and ground pork. Adjust the amount of jalapeños to control the heat level. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder chili. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of shredded cheese makes a delicious topping. For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with plant-based ground meat. This chili tastes even better the next day, as the flavors continue to develop overnight.
