If you don’t have ground beef, you can substitute ground turkey or even crumbled tempeh. You can also substitute the canned tomatoes for fresh tomatoes if desired. Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking. If you like it spicy, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder chili, reduce the amount of chili powder and cayenne pepper.
