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.
