Hi Steve

Not surprised that your chili was a little too hot !! I would use half of that amount. Mind you me and 2er indoors" don't like very hot dishes. When our son comes and we make chili I make two. A mild one for us and the hottest I can get for him.

Instead of minced beef sometimes I use beef cheek and sometimes belly pork.

I will try your recipe but with a little less chili.

Thanks

Mike
