Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon oregano, 1 teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
  • Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Per Pound of Meat: The general rule is usually two tablespoons of seasoning per pound of meat.
  • Store Bought Packet Equivalent: You can use 2½ to 3 tablespoons to match one store bought chili seasoning packet.
  • Batch Yield: This recipe makes just over four tablespoons. One recipe of this chili seasoning is typically enough to flavor chili for 6-8 people.
Store it right. Keep seasoning in an airtight jar at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Never above the stove where heat and steam can dull flavor. Stored properly, it stays fresh for 6–12 months, so it’s worth making a double or triple batch.
