Hey asphalt.....I love chili but feel pretty certain you wouldn't be interested in using ground turkey for it like I do. I get heaps of compliments, BTW.
One of the things I do that I think helps is to add some brown sugar in it near the end to mask the acidic tomato taste. I also use mesa flour to thicken it...just a little bit....
And of course the right combinations of spices...including a very measured amount of cayenne pepper - very measured...lol....that stuff is potent!!!
Good luck to you and please provide a followup on how it went!
