Baking Tips
For a spicier kick, add chopped jalapeños to the chili while cooking.
Use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar for a zesty twist.
For an easy serving option, layer the chili and toppings inside individual Frito bags for a fun grab-and-go meal.
Substitute ground turkey for a lighter version.
