Stir until the chili has reached your desired consistency. - For a spicier chili, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste. You can also add a diced jalapeño pepper for an extra kick. - To make your chili more hearty, add a can of black beans or kidney beans. You can also add a cup of corn or diced tomatoes. - Serve your chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro.Conclusion:
