Can I fix it? What can I add, everything I see says about pepper. It has to much green pepper in it.

  • Is the pepper chopped? So finely that you can't just pick it out? Have you added the beans yet - maybe you could use extra.

    What is wrong with just cooking a batch with too much green pepper? Add more beans?

    Green chile peppers, or green peppercorn? Commented Feb 6, 2017 at 9:27

    Spicy hot green, or the mild stuff? Longer cooking will reduce the heat of hot peppers, dilution will cut down on too many bells, at the expense of giving you a larger batch of chili. Commented Feb 6, 2017 at 22:32

  1. Add more of the other ingredients
  2. Add dairy
  3. Add acid
  4. Add a sweetener
  5. Serve with bland, starchy foods

Options 1 and 5 provide a solution which will not alter the flavor of your chili too much.

It depends what you mean by "Too much green pepper".

Too much bell pepper and the chili is not spicy/hot enough?

  • Add more hot peppers, adjust other aromatics/spices to be proportional - don't recommend adding more meat/beans)

Too much of some other chili and it's too spicy/hot?

  • Serve with rice or other bland starch; add more of not-spicy ingredients to dilute)

Pepper mix out of balance and doesn't have the flavor that you want?

  • Add other peppers to balance, probably adjust meat/beans and other aromatics/spices to be proportional).
