FAQs
1. Can I make chili ahead of time?
Yes! Chili actually tastes better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.

Absolutely! Ground turkey or chicken are great alternatives, and you can even go for a meat-free version using more beans or lentils.
3. How do I make it less spicy?
To make your chili milder, reduce or omit the jalapenos and choose mild chili powder. You can also add a bit of sugar or honey to balance out the spice.
