I'm not a vegetarian, but I love this chili! It's so flavorful and satisfying. I usually make it with ground turkey instead of beans, but it's just as good with beans.

This is my go-to chili recipe. It's easy to make and always a hit with my family and friends. I like to serve it with sour cream, shredded cheese, and a side of cornbread.
