Notes
- Chili powder: If you shop at an international food market and buy “chili powder,” sometimes this is just straight-up ground dried red chiles (cayenne pepper), not the Americanized chili powder blend you’re thinking of. You should be able to tell by the color of the powder.
- Chipotle chili powder: Chipotle chili powder is spicy! If you’re unsure, start with 1 teaspoon (or less) until the chili is fully cooked. Then, taste and add more at the end. You can also substitute ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper or omit it entirely.
- Yield: This recipe makes 1/2 cup chili seasoning, enough to make 8 servings of chili from 2 pounds ground meat or sweet potatoes.
- Storage: Store in a dark, cool place for up to 6 months.
