The chili's in the crock pot and it smells like a damned Cinnabon now. I guess I should have measured ingredients instead of just guessing.

Anything I can add to the chili to kill the cinnamon taste it's sure to have? There's already stewed tomatoes and tomato sauce in there.

Try garlic.

add more ingredients to the mix. If you made a stew with meat, such as
beef or lamb, sear more meat in a skillet first before adding it to the
stew. Go easy on adding extra meat to keep the fat content down. Extra
vegetables, such as potatoes and carrots, also dilute the flavor of too
much cinnamon and are a healthier addition than more meat. Saute
vegetables before adding them to the stew and do not season them. You
might find that adding tomatoes to a stew helps balance the flavor.

Fromunda cheese. It's the only way to counteract the cinnamon.

Dark red kidney beans are already in there. I guess I could add some pinto or black beans.

That's a good idea. I'll try that.

I don't really have any more of the main ingredients. I do have some carrots, though.

You have more problems than cinnamon floating around in that stew, soup, or whatever you are making.

Yeah I had to do a double take to make sure it was a question from Texas and not Ohio.

Hell I was almost waiting for the next question to be "And how much chocolate is enough?"

He did say he put beans in it, in Texas, so I'm just going to go get my popcorn now.

I have both of those things. Is this really going to help or was it a smart-ass answer to mess up my food? This is GD, so I have to ask.

nutmeg, eggs, pumpkin. bake it for 55 min.

Just add all the OTHER ingredients of chili in, in sufficient quantities to bring the cinnamon concentration back down to where you want it

You might end up with 100 gallons of chili, though.

Maybe you should just put a pint of chili in a Mason jar, make a new batch without cinnamon, and then mix in the contaminated pint

and then the balance should be about right.

Every time you make another batch, add in more you saved from this over-cinnamoned batch.

Add some nutmeg, more beans, some vanilla, more beans, take the meat out, more beans, add soy sauce, some sriracha, more beans, blend, bake at 450 for 4 hours and enjoy with a glass of milk. Your cake is done.

Add double of everything else except cinnamon - now you can have double the chili

We had a chili cook off at work a few months ago and a guy put too much in his and it just plans SUCKED!!!

Forgot to mention, cinnamon and beans have no place in chili!

You're too far south to attempt it, that's why it didn't work.

This is just an off the wall idea, ... a little bit of white vinegar? Maybe it will add enough savory/sour anti-spicy zing to kill cinnamon?

What we have heah is a failure to communicate! There ain't no fookin carrots, beans, tomato paste, coriander, in chili. Some artsy-fartsy kind o' stew from like a Graham Kerr cookbook maybe, but what you got ain't chili.

Simply split it in half and freeze or refigerate one batch and add 1/2 of all ingredients from original recipe EXCEPT the cinamon. Repeat on second batch at later date.

The only solution is to make more chili and add it to the cinnamon chili.

White vinegar is what wimminez douche with. Apple cider vinegar is used for cooking.
