Homemade chili seasoning
Cooler weather means chili around here. Whether it is Fall or winter, I love to make chili.
Sometimes in the crock pot, sometimes on the stove top. Sometimes I make more of a soup, and sometimes I combine a variety of ingredients to make a new concoction. Any which way you look at eat, we eat chili in one form or another quite a bit.
Just like my homemade taco seasoning, I have been making homemade chili seasoning for a while. I like to make a big batch at one time so I will have it ready to go when I am making chili.
Once you see how simple and easy this is to make, you will make it all the time. Skip the store bought packs and make this in minutes at home!
How do you make chili seasoning from scratch?
This makes it just as convenient as having packaged chili seasoning, but it is much more frugal. I use a container just like this to store my chili seasoning in. I actually bought two at the same time so I could have one for my taco seasoning, too.
You will love the size of these containers because ypu can make a lot of homemade chili seasoning at once.
Feel free to also use mason jars to store the chili seasoning mix in. The jars keep everything nice and fresh and they are inexpensive to purchase.
Plus, you can reuse them for other things once you are finished. We love mason jars!
Generally I double or triple this recipe so I don’t have to make it very often. You can use a container you already have or a mason jar and be set for the next time you make chili.
