Penzey's Spices sells a heat free chili powder that I love. My stomach (and mouth) can't handle capsaisin, which is the chemical in peppers that makes them hot, this chili powder is all real chilis with no capsaisin and it is delicious. Using this alone makes heat free chili or you could mix with the chili you already use to make a milder version. This spice site sells a variety of chili powders with all heat levels. If you love to cook, look them up!

 
I think it would be worth a try for you to order some Marg. I think the store brands of chili

powder, like Kroger's or Safeway's or even McCormick are really quite mild. what kind do you use now?

 
Los Chileros-- Chili Molido and Anco Chili Powder. I used the ancho in the chili instead of the

anchos from scratch. This is Canada afterall. Los Chileros is from New Mexico. Or at least that's what the bag said. Could have been China and bagged in NM.

So the ancho powder may have been what did me in. But the gastrique actually saved it all.
