The easiest is to soak the beans in room-temperature water overnight or for approximately eight hours. Be sure that the beans are completely covered by at least three to four inches of water. For the quick-soak method, boil the dried beans in a pot of water (again, three to four inches of water on top of the beans) for a few minutes and then let them soak for about two hours off the flame.<\/li>\n<li><em>Sweeten It Up<\/em><br \/>\nIf your chili tastes bitter, add a little dark brown sugar to the mix.<\/li>\n<li><em>Top It Off<\/em><br \/>\nWhen serving, set out bowls of toppings such as sour cream, shredded Cheddar or Jack cheese, diced avocado, lime wedges, chopped red or green onion, chopped cilantro, and oyster crackers.<\/li>\n<li><em>Cool Off<\/em><br \/>\nIf the chili&#8217;s heat is too much to take, counter the chile pepper&#8217;s capsaicin with casein, a protein found in dairy products like milk and yogurt. Another option is to eat bread or rice to help quell the fiery sensation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter whether you&#8217;re tailgating or preparing meals days in advance, because when the temperature drops outside, a hot bowl of chili is one of the most comforting dishes you can eat.
