New DO for Christmas and ready for Chili. Momma doesn't like spicy food so any ideas for a lightweight?

My plan is to kick mine up a bit but may have to improvise.

    This is a good light weight. Diced green chilies are very sweet and mild.

    This one is my current favorite for basic ground beef chili with beans. It's the one I serve over cornbread yummm

    Chili

    2 tablespoons oil
    2 onions, chopped
    1 bell pepper, chopped
    6 cloves garlic, minced
    ¼ cup chili powder
    1 tablespoon cumin, ground
    2 teaspoons coriander, ground
    1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
    2 pounds ground beef
    2 15 oz cans kidney beans
    1 28 oz diced tomatoes
    1 28 oz tomato puree

    You can leave out the red pepper flakes if you want, the 1/4 cup chili powder can sound like a lot but this isn't spicy.
