For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with plant-based crumbles or lentils. Enhance the depth of flavor by browning the ground beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese for added richness. Pair with crusty bread or garlic bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
