Easy Chili Seasoning Recipe

My homemade chili seasoning recipe blends warm, earthy spices into a mild mix that works beautifully in chili or any savory dish. It’s easy to make, simple to store, and far more flavorful than any store-bought packets.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Combine all of the seasonings into one bowl or jar.
  • Shake, whisk, or stir to combine.
  • Use 2 tablespoons per pound of meat.

Notes

  • Use the freshest spices available. A new bottle of chili powder or cumin always gives the blend a stronger, zippier flavor.
  • Shake the jar before using the seasoning.
  • Label the batch. Writing the date on the jar helps keep track of when it's made.
  • Keep the blend mild, then adjust the heat when you’re cooking. Add extra cayenne or crushed red pepper directly to the pot if you want a little more kick!
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a year.
