For a deeper flavor, consider browning the ground beef in batches. This prevents overcrowding the pot and ensures a better sear. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili seasoning mix to your preference. For a milder chili, start with one package and add more to taste. If you prefer a smoother chili, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the mixture after simmering. The chili tastes even better the next day, as the flavors continue to develop in the refrigerator.
