For a deeper flavor, consider browning the ground beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Adjust the amount of chile pepper to your desired level of spiciness. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat.
Smoked paprika adds a wonderful smoky flavor to the chili.
Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or corn, to the chili.
This chili is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To freeze, let the chili cool completely, then transfer it to freezer-safe containers or bags. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
