For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with 1 pound of crumbled plant-based ground meat or 2 cups of cooked lentils. If you prefer a spicier chili, add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes. To add more depth of flavor, consider adding a chopped onion and a minced clove of garlic to the ground beef while browning. Serve with your favorite chili toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
