Don't know why, but I have a craving for chili. The thing is I don't like hot spicy foods....to the point where regular black pepper is "hot" enough for me. So my first question...
How much chili powder seasoning can I safely add to my chili to get the chili "flavor" without the "hot". I'm making a regular crock pot size amount.
Second...
The recipes I've seen call for a couple tablespoons tomato paste...can I just omit that ingredient? I don't have any, and am too lazy to go out and get some. Is the tomato paste specifically for flavor, or is it needed due to the thick texture?
