For a deeper flavor, consider browning the ground beef, sausage, and bacon a day ahead and refrigerating overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and intensify.
Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.
For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon, sausage, and ground beef. Add an extra can of kidney beans and a can of black beans for added protein and texture.
Serve with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, and a dollop of guacamole.
