Homemade Chili Seasoning
Description
Homemade Chili Seasoning is a simple combination of common spices including chili powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. These ingredients come together to form a seasoning mix designed to add depth, mild heat, and aromatic notes to chili dishes. The careful balance of chili powder and heat from the cayenne pepper can be adjusted to taste, while the garlic and onion powders offer savory undertones. Ground cumin and black pepper add earthiness and warmth.
This seasoning blend is easy to make by stirring the dry spices together and storing them in an airtight container away from heat and moisture. It remains flavorful for up to six months, making it a convenient staple for slow-simmered chili or any recipe that calls for chili seasoning.
You can use this seasoning to spice up a pot of chili with about six servings, and adjust the cayenne pepper depending on the spiciness of your chili powder. Using this mix simplifies seasoning while giving control over the heat level and flavor complexity.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin ground
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground, approximate amount
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and stir to combine. Store in an air-tight container, away from heat and moisture for up to six months.
Notes
- This mix makes enough seasoning for one pot of chili serving about six people.
- If your chili powder is already spicy, you can reduce or omit the cayenne pepper to adjust the heat.
