Ingredients

2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon oregano, 1 teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Per Pound of Meat: The general rule is usually two tablespoons of seasoning per pound of meat.
Store Bought Packet Equivalent: You can use 2½ to 3 tablespoons to match one store bought chili seasoning packet.
Batch Yield: This recipe makes just over four tablespoons. One recipe of this chili seasoning is typically enough to flavor chili for 6-8 people.

Store it right. Keep seasoning in an airtight jar at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Never above the stove where heat and steam can dull flavor. Stored properly, it stays fresh for 6–12 months, so it’s worth making a double or triple batch.
