For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste along with the tomato sauce. If you like a smokier flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika along with the other spices. For a spicier chili, increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add a pinch of red pepper flakes. The chili can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will actually improve as it sits. This chili freezes well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. For a creamier chili, stir in a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt just before serving.
