We make chili seasoning today.
First, gather the ingredients. My father in law always marvels at my seasoning section in my pantry and this is why.
Chili Seasoning Ingredients
1 C Flour
4 T Chili Powder
4 T Crushed Red Pepper
4 T Minced Onion (Dried)
4 T Minced Garlic (Dried)
3 T Sugar
3 T Cumin
2 T Oregano
2 T Cayenne Pepper
2 T Paprika
1 T Onion Powder
1 T Garlic Powder
Directions: Measure out powdered ingredients into a fine sieve or sifter. Measure larger ingredients directly into the bowl.
Tap or sift powdered ingredients into bowl.
Mix thoroughly.
Finished product in mason Jar. Which then lends to the next step. LOL
I put the rest into an empty seasoning container for me. It made about three cups but I can do the math and give a better idea of the finished volume. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup. 30 tablespoons in the recipe (not including the cup of flour). So that means 1.875 cups in addition to the flour. Should be almost 3 cups total.
I printed out a label and tied some raffia on the jar.
I got the labels off Amazon. They fit perfectly on the small mouth mason jar. They are Avery 22808 2 1/2" Round Kraft labels. You can go on Avery.com/print for the template and print directly from there.
Directions: Brown ground beef (I use 1-2 lbs.). Sprinkle 1/4 C chili seasoning over beef and stir. Add chili "fixins" or a bit of water if you are using meat as a stand alone for tacos, burritos, or taco salad and finish cooking.
The cuteness of this made me think it would be a great gift to make a chili basket.
My friend Ginger has been working night and day on her two stores. I am so proud of her. She is amazing. I thought it would be the perfect gift to give her for a quick meal...she could even have her kiddos do it.
