- ¼ teaspoon crushed red chili peppers (optional for spicy)
Instructions
- Measure all the ingredients. Store the mixed seasoning in an air-tight container until ready to use it.

Notes
Tips:
- Double the recipe and make a double batch of chili if you are feeding a crowd (about 3 pounds of ground beef). Or save half in an air-tight container for next time you make chili.
- Storage: Mason jars, plastic containers or even a ziplock bag are great for storing your homemade chili seasoning recipe. It is best to store it in a dark place and out of direct sunlight.
