There is nothing quite like a big bowl of chili on a cold evening. Making your own seasoning at home is so easy and saves you from those expensive little packets at the store.

You will love having this in your pantry because you can control the heat. If your family prefers things mild, just cut back on the cayenne pepper, or add extra if you like a little kick.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place all of the measured spices into a small bowl.

  2. 2

    Whisk the spices together until they are well combined.

  3. 3

    Transfer the mixture to a small glass jar or an airtight container.

  4. 4

    Use two to three tablespoons of this mix for every pound of meat you cook for chili.

💡 Tips

Store your seasoning in a cool and dark place for up to six months. If you want a smokier flavor, try swapping the regular paprika for smoked paprika.
