For a richer flavor, try browning the ground beef in a little olive oil before adding the vegetables. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference. If you prefer a milder chili, start with 2 tablespoons and add more to taste. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of chopped green onions also makes a great addition to the finished chili. For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with plant-based ground meat or lentils. Cincinnati chili is traditionally served 'five-way': spaghetti, chili, beans, onions, and cheese. Feel free to add these additional toppings!
