For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef separately before adding the other ingredients. Drain off any excess grease. Adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your spice preference. For a milder chili, start with 2 teaspoons and add more to taste. If the chili becomes too thick during simmering, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach the desired consistency. This chili can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will meld together even more over time. For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce.
