Homemade Chili Seasoning Recipe Mix

Homemade Chili Seasoning Mix is so easy. Two tablespoons equals one of those packets you buy at the store. Use it in chilies, tacos, casseroles, bean patty mixes and more!

To tell you the truth I can't remember when there weren't those little packets 'for seasoning everything you can think of' in the grocery store.

I do know there didn't use to be so many of them though.

For sure, I think the first was that little box that holds two packets for onion soup mix.

People didn't buy it for onion soup. They bought it for onion dip.

That was a prerequisite for every single party back then - for everyone. It is still packaged the same today.

Somewhere out there, in geniusland, a wise person thought about making an assorted variety of packets for multiple dishes. The first one was probably for chili and probably by Lawry's.
 

🥘 Ingredients

• Ground chili - of your choice.
• Cumin - adds more heat but in a subtle manner.
• Paprika - is another very flavorful spice that adds depth.
• Oregano - is such a mild addition but it really helps meld the ingredients.
• Garlic powder - seasoning is a necessity.
• Onion powder - finishes off the crazy flavorful mix.

• It's not just for chili! Check out these delicious ideas.
• Tofu Scramble - sprinkle a little in while your cooking up a nice warm breakfast.
• French Fries and even Sweet Potato Fries - air-fry up a batch but make sure you've added some to the coating.
• Michelada - the next time you make this special Bloody Mary add some seasoning to the salt rim.
• Broccoli - steam up a batch of florets and toss it in dairy-free butter, Immediately sprinkle in some seasoning.
• Almond Mayonnaise - don't forget to add some spicy flavor to the next batch of your homemade cashew or almond spread.
• Rice - I kid you not. Add some tomato, pinto beans and seasoning for a really delicious side dish.

They make a lot of money off of those little packets. And you can make your own.
