For an even deeper flavor, consider browning the ground beef and sausage in a cast iron skillet before adding them to the soup pot. Adjust the amount of minced chiles according to your spice preference. Remember that the heat will intensify as the chili simmers. If you don't have pinto beans on hand, kidney beans or black beans can be substituted. The key is to ensure they are well-drained to prevent a watery chili. Consider topping with some fresh cilantro for a more vibrant taste.
