For a vegetarian option, simply omit the ground beef and consider adding other vegetables such as diced sweet potatoes or butternut squash for added heartiness. Adjust the amount of jalapeño pepper according to your spice preference. Removing the seeds and membranes will reduce the heat. The chili tastes even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado slices, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
