Notes

For a thicker chili, you can use the sauté function after cooking to evaporate some liquid. Feel free to experiment with additional toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped cilantro for extra flavor. If you prefer a milder chili, reduce the cayenne pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste before serving, as flavors can intensify during cooking.
