How to Fix Chili When It’s Too Hot

Chili is traditionally a spicy dish, but what do you do when your chili is too hot? You can fix it by adding something to cancel out some of the heat. Milk is a great spice-slayer, as are lots of other dairy products. Stir some milk into your chili and you’ll find that it gets milder the more you add. You can also add cheese to your chili, but keep in mind that that will make it thicker. Sour cream is also a great thing to add to five-alarm chili to dial back the heat. You can also just put sour cream, cheese, or both on the table so people can choose whether they want to add some to their bowl or not.
