Cup of Yum
Notes
- As a note to my readers outside of the United States, American chili powder is a blend of many spices, including cayenne pepper, but it isn’t all that spicy. Non-American chili powder can be straight up ground chile peppers and are MUCH spicier. For this recipe, make sure you’re using American chili powder, otherwise it will be insanely spicy.
- Recipe makes approximately 5 Tbsp, which is equal to almost 1/3 cup.
- Recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, or even halved for a smaller batch.
- To use: Use around 2 1/2 Tbsp per pound of meat (so this recipe would make enough for 2 lbs of meat).
