Homemade Chili Seasoning
Description
Homemade Chili Seasoning is a spice blend combining chili powder, cumin, salt, onion powder, cayenne pepper, garlic salt, and black pepper. The chili powder and cumin form a robust base with smoky and earthy tones, while cayenne pepper contributes heat. Onion and garlic salts add savory depth and enhance overall flavor, and black pepper offers mild pungency.
This seasoning is ideal for preparing chili by using about two tablespoons per pound of ground beef. It can also be adjusted for other dishes that require similar flavors. Storing the blend in an airtight container in a cool, dark place maintains its freshness. A single batch makes enough spice mix for approximately twelve pots of chili, making it practical for multiple uses.
Making your own chili seasoning lets you avoid prepackaged additives and adjust salt or spice levels as needed.
