Ingredients

    1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1 teaspoon cumin, ground
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
    3 tablespoons chili powder


Tips

Know your ingredients. The cayenne will bring in a back heat to any dish, meaning the heat will arrive last within the tasting process. Paprika brings in the smoke flavor, and garlic will awake your sense of smell.


Directions

Combine all into a small container, shake to mix. Store in a cool dry area for 6 months.

This recipe yields the equivalent of two packets of seasoning mix--enough for one large batch of chili or two regular size batches. Use as much or as little as you'd like, according to your taste preferences.

Serving Size: Makes 12 one teaspoon servings

    Thank you for this seasoning packet recipe. How do you know how much to use related to how much meat, etc. or do with just season to taste as I did. I also add additional cayenne to spice to taste of my family. I used free onions sauteed juice of precooked meat of my choice . - 12/30/11

    I think you just use as much as your recipe calls for. So if your recipe says to add 2 Tsp of chilli seasoning to your chilli then yo add 2 Tsp of this to your chilli. Personally, the more the better ! - 1/2/12
