Tips for Perfect Chili:
- Beef: For a leaner option, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of ground beef.
- Beans: Feel free to swap out the beans for your favorites, like black beans or white beans.
- Spice Level: Adjust the chili powder and cumin to suit your taste. You can even add a pinch of cayenne pepper if you like extra heat.
- Slow Cooker Option: After browning the meat and sautéing the vegetables, transfer everything to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours for even more depth of flavor.
