Notes
For extra flavor, add a tablespoon of brown sugar or Worcestershire sauce. If you like more heat, toss in some diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper. Feel free to substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or a veggie alternative for a lighter option. Let the chili cool completely for storage; it can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
