'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
It is still eatable, but is there anything I can do to tone down the hot?
Make more chili. Add more beans or can of tomato or whatever you've got. You can't boil it off. There's no flavor that's going to take that edge. In other recipes I'd try adding some kind of hard cheese grated into it, but I don't think that would work with the chili. Maybe. But the flavor would change a lot.
Eat it with lots of cheese, sour cream, and/or cornbread?

Yeah, that's a good idea too. Just use this for topping.
Or eat it with rice.
Sour cream is a great idea. Cheers!

This has helped. One can of tomatoes and two cans of black beans. More chili for me!

I was afraid of that, but hoped something like 'a spoon full of sugar' would help.
Still. I think a little dairy will do the trick.
I would love to make some cornbread, but...I cut out most grains 10 days ago and since then, I've had no heartburn (which has gotten ridiculous) and dropped 9 lbs.
Much as I love, love, love me some bread, it has proven to just not be worth it.
Dairy for sure, then. If you don't have sour cream, eat it with a glass of milk.
If there are any grain based foods you are still eating, spoon the chili generously over that. Let it be the flavoring. This will work on starchy veggies, rice, any form of pasta or polenta... If it is carby and bland, throw the chili on it.
I'd try quinoa -- mor e protien , less carb
Quinoa is my my one true grain at the moment. I can definitely throw some of that together.
Can I just ask, where has a crock pot been all my life?
This is the third batch of chili I've made in the last month...enough for 7 or eight meals.
No proficiency yet with any other dishes, but this one is pretty dang good.
I haven't tried it myself, but my family loves when I cook a pork tenderloin in the crock pot. I am fairly lazy about it, I pour a container of salsa on top of it and let it slow cook away. For myself vegetarian chili is one of my favorite crock pot meals.
