Too Hot Chili!
Do you know of a way to reduce the heat in Chili? I have a pot of it and it is way too hot to eat. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I would hate to have to toss it away.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Richard,
There are various tricks to reducing the heat in your chili. Here are a few ideas from cooks to choose from:
Stir in some sour cream, whole milk, whipping cream, or plain yogurt made from whole milk (the fat in these products helps to reduce the heat . . . if you don't wish to stir it in, you can just serve them alongside
Add some beer
Dilute with more chicken/beef broth
Double (half or third) the recipe (add more of everything, excepting the spices)
Add sugar or lemon juice to taste
Add honey to taste
Toss in a chunk of standard Mexican chocolate (like Abuelita)
Add 2tsp to 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
Add some crushed corn chips
Eat it after 2-3 days, to give the peppers time to "chill"
Hope this helps,
