Chili Seasoning Mix
by Patti Chadwick
"Tex-Mex" food seems to be a favorite today among Americans, and everyone seems to have their favorite Chili recipe. I found an easy seasoning mix that stores well that makes cooking Chili a breeze! It also can be used in a variety of other "Tex-Mex" creations.
Chili Seasoning Mix
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Mix all ingredients; store in a small airtight jar in a cool, dry place. Makes about 1/4 cup.

- 1 can stewed tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Chili Seasoning Mix
- 1 can kidney beans
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal or flour
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Brown ground beef in a large saucepan, stirring occasionally, until meat loses its red color. Stir in cornmeal/flour, then add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve in bowls, sprinkle with shredded cheese. Serves 4.
Chili Macaroni
- 1 lb. ground beef

Chili Snack
