Try some crushed up crackers. You can also cut it with some tomato sauce or put some sour cream on it.
Any kind of dairy product you can add to the chili will reduce it's spicyness. Consuming foods high in fats and oils, such as milk or bread and butter, will help alleviate the burning. The lipophilic capsaicin is able to mix freely with the fats in the food and is removed from the surface of the mouth.
Good luck!

Most sure-fire way is to just go back and double the other ingredients other than chilies. The things that typically cool spice (sour cream, yogurt, etc.) would be nasty to stir into the chili (though sometimes a dollop of sour cream is put on top at serving time). You will have twice the amount you wanted, but chili freezes well. If you are really averse to doing this, add more tomatoes and have it be a bit more tomatoey than planned. Might want to add a dash of sugar though if you do this so it's not too acidic on top of being spicy.

This has happened to me from time to time and I have been able to fix it by adding tomatoes. If you mean salsa which I also call chili You can also add some salt and avacado. If you mean chili as in chili beans you can add sour cream, tomatoes, and or cheese. I hope that I have been some help in this matter.

I saw Rachael Ray and she said to use either more sauce or to add some brown sugar to balance out the heat without over flowing the chili and some other reasons..

Add a can of diced tomatoes? or, i saw this thing on the Food Network where they took a bag of tortilla chips and crushed them without opening the bag, then put the crushed chips in the chili, which sounded pretty good.

Dilute with tomato juice and add about 3/4 cup sugar.
Then put a dollop of sour cream in the bowl when served.

peel some apples or potatos and put them in the pot whole. let them sit for a second and then take them out before theyturn to mush. all the excess seasoning will be absorbed.

If the tomatoes don't work, try a cut up potato. I know it works for absorbing excess salt in soups... It's just a thought.
Good luck :-)
