My cheap chili night almost ended in disaster

Back in my old apartment in Dayton, I tried to double my mom's chili recipe to freeze some. Forgot to adjust the spices. Used a whole 4oz can of chili powder by mistake. Had to dump in three extra cans of beans and two big cans of tomatoes to save it. Anyone have a good fix for when you over-spice a big pot of something?

Wait, isn't chili powder just ground chilies?

The one in my cabinet has cumin, garlic powder, and oregano listed before the chili peppers.

Actually, chili powder is usually a mix of spices, not just chilies. It's like how "Italian seasoning" isn't just one herb. So many things are blends pretending to be one simple ingredient.
