For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the chili mixture.
Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
