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.

Calories: 64kcal
Equipment
- Glass spice jars for optional storage
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 or beans, or about 4 tablespoons for a standard pot of chili.
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.
