Homemade Chili Seasoning Mix



I love to make great big pots of chili during cold weather.  The only problem is that I didn't have a good chili mix recipe, so I had to buy my chili mix.  My favorite is the Cincinnati Chili Mix. The only problem with this is that it is getting quite pricey--close to $2 per pkg. and it takes 2 for my pot of chili. This brought me to research and try to find a chili mix recipe to make up into baggies in advance.  This is what I have come up with:

Lisa's Chili Seasoning Mix


  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour


  • 5 teaspoons chili powder


  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper


  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion


  • 1 tablespoon dried, minced garlic


  • 2 teaspoons white sugar or splenda


  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin


  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley


  • 2 teaspoons salt


  • 1 teaspoon dried basil


  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper


  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 




  • Mix all together into a bowl and then put into baggies!  Double or triple to make more to store in the pantry.
    You can tweak this recipe according to your taste--we do not like it too spicy hot but you can add red pepper flakes to add heat!
    Hope you enjoy!
    Blessings,
    Lisa
