From time to time, one will have a guest, or guests who do not enjoy nor appreciate highly seasoned and/or hot, hot, hot tasting recipes; especially chili. My objective, therefore, in developing this chili is to provide for guest(s) who fall into this category. So then, without sacrificing flavour, and to ensure these wimpy guests receive an invitation to the party, I have combined seasonings which are compatible with basic ingredients on their own, or in tandem, to provide a chili worthy of guests whose tastes are neither left, nor right, but right down the middle of the "Heat-O-Meter".
