Vent: My homemade chili for the site was a disaster

I tried to make a big pot of chili for lunch today. It ended up too spicy and nobody could eat it. We had to order pizza instead. What do you usually bring for site meals? I need easy recipes that can feed a group.

Seriously, it's just chili. Too spicy happens to everyone. Keep some bread or sour cream around to fix it next time. Ordering pizza instead seems like an overreaction. The pulled chicken idea is fine, but it's not some magical fix. Just dial back the peppers and try again.

Read somewhere that slow cooker pulled chicken is basically foolproof for feeding a crowd. You just dump in chicken, sauce, and some spices, then forget about it for hours. Hard to mess up and everyone seems to like it.

That method can dry out the chicken, which Vera's chili tip about balance gets right.
