    Depending on what you cooked it with , you can also add more tomatoes (canned ) to it or whatever you used as your base ( could be a spag sauce) it will decrease the amount of chili...the sour cream is a great add on as well..mmmm

    ok I added a ton more stock, most has simmered away now. also added more sugar. has decreased the heat but I still doubt the kids will eat it will stir in a little cream at the end.

    I hope that they may eat it. If not, send it here. Steph will eat it. She's a nut when it comes to hot food like that!

    Strangely enough (and too late I know) but I have read that you put a whole peeled raw potato in the pot and it soaks up some of the heat. Or a breadroll/slice of bread floating on top. Do remove and bin them before serving!!
